Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both soil and regolith are composed of a mixture of rock fragments, minerals, and organic matter. Sediment content is the most similar characteristic between the two. While soil has biologic activity and can support plant life, regolith may not necessarily have these characteristics. Horizons are a specific feature of soil, so they are not similar between soil and regolith.
