A soil developed in residual parent materials will likely have properties related to the properties of the rock below the C horizon.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Residual parent materials are formed by the weathering and decomposition of the bedrock beneath it. Therefore, the soil properties will be related to the properties of the underlying rock. The type of rock, its mineral composition, and structure all influence the properties of the soil that develops from it. So, residual soils are often more similar to the rocks beneath them and can often have similar properties to them.
