A Podzol is a soil formed in a humid climate. The high precipitation flushes carbonates from the soil profile quickly, decreasing the soil pH. Following this, one o r two processes happens
1.) The iron in the first horizon of the soil profile leaches and is deposited lower down in the soil profile creating an iron rich layer.
2.) Humic acids move under deposited lord out of the soil profile
Depending on what substance moves, the classification of the soil changes slightly both are Podzol
You can tear the podzol from my cold dead hands (I do not know what podzol is)
