Question
the map shows the soils of america.
which best describes the soils found in the
southeastern united states?
○ frozen
○ sandy
○ weathered
○ young
The southeastern US is marked with Ultisols (yellow) on the map. Ultisols are highly weathered soils, formed in warm, humid climates with significant rainfall that drives intense chemical weathering, leaching nutrients and leaving clay-rich, weathered profiles. Frozen soils are in cold northern regions, sandy soils are not the dominant type here, and young soils are typically in areas with recent geological activity, not this mature region.
