write in short about coastal soil
Answers
Answer:
Coastal alluvium soils are of marine origin and are seen along the coastal plains and basin lands as a narrow strip. Alluvium soils are formed from fluvial sediments of lacustrine or riverine sediments. Forest soils are seen under forest cover and are formed from crystalline rocks of Archaean age.
Answer:
The occurrence of soil in coastal zones is not a simple matter to resolve. Summarized coastal zones form a global perspective that only briefly indicates potential occurrence of soil in relation to coastal landforms, maritime climates, drainage, vegetation, and time available for formation. Increased understanding of coastal soils is, however, only possible from the purview of specific examples that illustrate soil distribution patterns in terms of sequences based on soil-forming factors of topography (toposequences), time (chronosequences), climate change (climosequence), and biological factors (biosequence). The conceptual frameworks for the models were initially postulated by Jenny (1941) and subsequently enhanced by various other researchers (e.g., Butler, 1959, Butler, 1967; Runge, 1973; Huggett, 1975). The value of these sequential paradigms is that they provide visualization of complex interrelationships in a framework that clarifies and elucidates coastal-soil.
