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