Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is a strong oxidizing agent and oxidizes soil Carbon into Carbon Dioxide. However in doing so, H2O2 itself gets reduced into water at the same time. Thus, we observe bubbles (CO2) and water when H2O2 comes in contact with soil.
Reaction: H2O2 + C (soil) --> H2O + CO2 (bubbles)
