Family name: isohyperthermic, Typic Eutrudept
A non calcareous alluvial soil whose materials originated from the surrounding uplands found along coastal areas It is slightly elevated inland and also forms high bluff from the shorelines It is a young soil in its incipient development stage toward a mature soil epts Inceptisol with high base saturation greater than 50 Eutr It is commonly found in areas with a mean annual temperature higher than 22C isohyperthermic and humid climate that have well distributed rainfall ud Udic thus have adequate supply of water for crop growth
