A vertical section (or cutting) through the soil showing the different layers of soil is called soil profile. Soil profile consists of three different layers of soil.
Horizon
Each layer of soil is called a horizon. The three lavers of soil in the soil profile are:
1) A-horizon (or Top-soil)
2)B-horizon (or Sub-soil)
3)C-horizon (or Sub-stratum)
- A- horizon-
* This is the topmost horizon and also called as topsoil.
* Contains large amount of humus and minerals.
* Topsoil is soft and porous.
* Capacity of water retention of this soil is more.
* Hold the roots of the plants entirely.
* House of many living organisms such as worms, rodents, moles and beetles.
2) B-horizon-
* Second layer of soil profile and also called as middle layer.
* Contains larger amount of minerals than humus.
* More compact and harder than topsoil.
3) C-horizon-
* Third layer of soil profile.
* Small lumps of rocks are found with cracks and cervices.
4) Bedrock-
* The last layer of soil profile.
* Very hard.
* This layer is even difficult to dig with a spade .

Adaptation is the physical or behavioural characteristic of an organism that helps an organism to survive better in the surrounding environment.
Living things are adapted to the habitat they live in. This is because they have special features that help them to survive.

Prevention of soil pollution can be done by
(i) use of manures instead of synthetic fertilisers.
(ii) use of natural pesticides.
(iii) avoid dumping of polythene and plastics in soil.
(iv) industrial waste should be treated before release in soil.
Prevention of soil erosion can be done by
(i) afforestation that is large scale planting in place of cut down forests.
(ii) avoiding overgrazing of grasslands.
(iii) terrace farming and other better farming methods in hilly areas.

Evaporation can generally be defined as a process by which a liquid or solid is transformed into vapour.
Evaporation causes cooling naturally. The underlying principle behind this is, in order to change its state, the matter must either gain or lose energy. In the case of change of phase from liquid to gas, molecules of matter require energy to overcome their potential energy by their kinetic energy. So, the liquid takes this energy from its surroundings.

| Basis | Acid | Base |
| Definition | An acid is any chemical compound once dissolved in water produces a solution with hydrogen ion activity more than purified water | A base is an aqueous substance that could absorb hydrogen ions. |
| Strength | Relies on the concentration of the hydronium ions | Relies on the concentration of the hydroxide ions |
| Examples | Acetic acid CH3COOH and sulphuric acid | Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Ammonia |
| Characteristics (Physical) | Would depend upon the temperature acids would look solid, liquid or in the form of gas. It would also have a sour taste. | Bases would feel slippery and solid in nature (except for ammonia, which is gaseous). It would have a bitter taste. |
| Disassociation | Acids would release hydrogen ions (h+) when mixed with water | Bases would release hydroxide ions(OH-) when mixed with water |

Guard cells are cells surrounding each stoma. They help to regulate the rate of transpiration by opening and closing the stomata. To understand how they function, study the following figures. As you look at the figures, keep in mind that an increase in solute concentration lowers the water potential of the solution, and that water moves from a region with higher water potential to a region of lower water potential.

Fleece and Wool bearing animals; like sheep, goat, camel, yak, etc. bear two types of hair – coarse hair and fine-soft under hair. Fine soft hair is found close to the skin in such animals. The fine soft under hair is called fleece. Fiber for wool is obtained from the fleece (hair) of such animals and hence such animals are called wool bearing animals.
