	Bedrock specifically refers to the rock layer closest to the surface, after all the organic material, soil, loose rocks, and other materials are removed. Bedrock can be any of the three rock types; Sedimentary, Metamorphic, and Igneous, in origin. Further rock layers below the bedrock are referred to as rockhead. The depth of regolith can range from nonexistent to extremely deep, depending on location.
