Extract

Soil formation has been generally attributed to the interaction of five variables: parent material, vegetation, relief, time, and climate. This interaction may be considered as the impact of the latter four forces on the parent material and the resultant is a profile of weathering that varies with environment. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate how the mineralogical characteristics of soil profiles may be used to determine their genesis.
