Here's why:
* Parent bedrock: This is the original source of the soil, the underlying rock that breaks down over time.
* Transported: This means the soil has been moved from its original location by natural processes like wind, water, or glaciers.
There are several types of transported soils, each named for the way they were moved:
* Aeolian soil: Transported by wind.
* Alluvial soil: Transported by rivers.
* Colluvial soil: Transported by gravity (often on hillsides).
* Glacial soil: Transported by glaciers.
