Q

Describe the soils of the Pfalz

A
  • 250 million years ago - alluvial soils - sand, clay and silt
  • Soils were compacted into sandstone and colored red by iron oxide
  • Volcanoes pushed basalt to the surface
  • 50 million years ago, tectonic activity caused Alps to rise and Rhine basin to fall
  • Pfalz filled with sea water and dried forming limestone and shell-limestone
  • Filled with sand, gravel and loess by water, erosion and wind
  • Ice age finished it all over with rivers grinding primary rock into fine grains, and then distributed by winds
  • LOESS
    ○ Wind blown combinations of soils compacted over time
    ○ It settled under the Palatinate Forest in Pfalz and was held in place by vegetation
