Type of soils
Alluival soil
It is the soil which being deposited from suspension in running water.
Transported Soil (WATER)
Physical Weathering
Found along the bank of Rivers
Lacustrine Soil
It is the soil that is deposited from the suspension in fresh still water of the lake.
Physical Weathering
Residual Soil (water)
Marine Soil
It is a soil which is deposited from the suspension in sea water.
Physical Weathering
Transported Soil (SEA WATER)
Aeoline Soil
It is the soil which is formed due to transportation by wind.
Physical Weathering
Transported Soil (WIND)
Glacial Soil
It is the soil that is being transported due to flowing ice.
Physical Weathering
Transported Soil (ICE)
Colluvial Soil
This soil is know as TALLUS SOIL. It is formed due to Weathering of the rocks by physical agencies and in which transportation is by the gravitational forces.
This is generally found in hilly area at the bottom of valleys.
Physical Weathering
Transported Soil (GRAVITATIONAL FORCE
It is uniformly graded wind blown silt that is slightly cemented due to calcium compound and montmorrilonite.
Marl Soil
It is fine graded calcium carbonate with Soil of Marine origin which is formed due to the decomposition of bone and cell mass of Aquatic life.
Chemical Weathering
Bentonite Soil
It is chemically weather volcanic ash that is generally used as lubricant in drilling.
Application is found in pile foundation.
Tuff Soil
It is finely graded slightly cemented volcanic ash which may be transported either by wind or by water. Physical weathering
Loam Soil
It is the mixture of caly,silt and sand in definite and different proportion in which organic matter may also present.
Physical weathering
Laterite Soil
it is the soil which is formed due to leaching process leaching means washing out of silicious (chemical) compound in hilly areas with humid atmosphere
eastern and Western Ghat
Chemical Weathering
Gumbo Soil
It is sticky highly plastic and dark in colour excessive presence of montmorrilonite.
Peat Soil
It is highly organic soil that almost entirely consists of vegetative matter in different stage of decomposition. its colour varies from black to dark brown and it posses organic odour. This soil is highly fibrous and posses high compressibility.
Chemical Weathering
Musk Soil
It is fine particle mixture of inorganic soil and black decomposed orgainic soil. It is generally found in the area having indeficient sewerage facilities or maybe overflooding of river.
Mixture of peat and musk soil is termed as CUMLOSE SOIL.
