Soils Developed on Marine and Lacustrine Materials 



As STREAMS flow into the quiet waters of ponds, lakes, or bays of the 

 ocean, the rate of flow is decreased and the suspended sediments slowly 

 settle to the bottom. Since much of the sand is deposited along the stream 

 beds before reaching the ocean, these sediments laid down in quiet waters 

 consist of the fine materials — fine sand, silt and clay, usually giving rise 

 to silt loam plow layers. Changing currents and eddies lead to some sorting 

 of these materials, so that pockets of sand may occur in the silt beds; and 

 there is a small acreage where a thin layer of sand covers the silts. Prac- 

 tically all of the materials are non-stony.

These soils, developed on an old lake bed, have considerable silt and clay.
