This Map is of the types of soils found around the world. There are many orders of soils, as seen in different colors on the map, and I find them very interesting. Each soil depends on a number of physical and chemical conditions. In California, the combination of good weather and topographic features account for prime agricultural production, the best in the country! I find it intriguing that different chemical and physical properties in soil are so important in the growth of almost all of the resources we use everyday.
