Question 1

Soils & Topography (2) + (3)

1. Blk F + V used to be one 50m yrs ago
2. Diverse + rich terroir with 20 major soil formations
   
   1. higher/steeper slope of V: granitic schist, sandstone + volc sediments
   2. Gentle lower slope: clay/marl limestone + sandstone
   3. La plaine d/Alsace: alluvial, eroded from V. Rich/Fert so less appropriate

Answer 1

1. Black forest & Vosges used to be one 50m years ago
2. A diverse & rich terroir with 20 major soil formations:
   
   1. Higher, steeper slopes of Vosges: granitic, schist, sandstone & volcanic sediments
   2. Gentle lower slopes: clay, marl, limestone & sandstone
   3. La plaine d’Alsace: alluvial soils, eroded from les Vosges. Rich & fertile so less appropriate.
