Family name: Very fine, isohyperthermic, Vertic Tropaquent
A young soils with only slight development which properties are determined largely by the parent material ent Entisol This is a representative of the great group Tropaquent with vertic properties dominated by clays that shrink and swell producing wide cracks and slickensides due to repeated wetting and drying aqu aquic It occurs in areas with isohyperthermic temperature regime of 22C
