In which of the following topographic positions along a slope would you expect the C horizon to be closest to the soil surface?    Image Description This black-and-white line drawing illustrates a simplified side profile of a landscape showing six topographic slope positions along a hill or slope. The profile moves from left (high elevation) to right (low elevation), with each position labeled: Summit – The highest, nearly level area at the top of the slope. Shoulder – The convex upper slope just below the summit, often where erosion is most active. Backslope – The steepest and straightest middle portion of the slope, between the shoulder and footslope. Footslope – The concave lower slope, where sediments from upslope begin to accumulate. Terrace – A relatively flat or gently sloping area at the base of the footslope, often formed by past erosion or deposition events. Bottom – The lowest position in the landscape, typically a valley floor or depression where water may collect and soils may be the most developed.
