Humus image by Juliet Burns | Dickinson College Commentaries

Ink and marker drawing of a cross-sectioned landscape. The sky is bright blue with puffy white clouds. The cross section of the ground reveals four layers of earth: the top layer is a reddish-brown with some sparse vegetation, the second layer is an orange-tan, the third is a light tan, and the fourth is dark brown. The roots of one bush penetrate down to the third layer. A few rocks are scattered throughout the second and third layers.
