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
