A crude form of sodium nitrate from South America; used as a fertilizer
A layer of hard clay subsoil; hardpan
An accumulation of calcium carbonate at or near the soil surface
The nitrate-bearing gravel or rock of the sodium nitrate deposits of Chile and Peru; a crust of calcium carbonate that forms on the stony soil of arid regions
{i} layer of sand or clay that contains minerals (such as sodium nitrate and sodium chloride found in Chile and Peru)
CaCO3, calcium carbonate; often seen as a white crust on stones It may form subsurface nodules, or coalesce into layers, causing hardpans
nitrate-bearing rock or gravel of the sodium nitrate deposits of Chile and Peru crust or layer of hard subsoil encrusted with calcium-carbonate occurring in arid or semiarid regions
Carbonate-rich horizons developed in soils of semiarid and arid regions Pedologists call these soil accumulations Bk and K horizons, and these are preferable to the terms caliche or calcrete
Crusted calcium carbonate formed on certain soils in dry regions by evaporation of rising solutions
crust or layer of hard subsoil encrusted with calcium-carbonate occurring in arid or semiarid regions
A hard covering of calcium carbonate frequently found on meteorites that have been weathered in desert areas It occurs when water containing calcium carbonate comes in contact with the meteorite and later evaporates, leaving behind the hard residue
(1) A soil layer near the surface, more or less cemented by secondary carbonates of calcium or magnesium precipitated from the soil solution It may occur as a soft, thin soil horizon, as a hard, thick bed just beneath the Solum, or as a surface layer exposed by erosion (2) Alluvium cemented with sodium nitrate, chloride, and/or other soluble salts in the nitrate deposits of Chile and Peru Also referred to as Hardpan
nitrate-bearing rock or gravel of the sodium nitrate deposits of Chile and Peru
(i) A zone near the surface, more or less cemented by secondary carbonates of Ca or Mg precipitated from the soil solution It may occur as a soft thin soil horizon, as a hard thick bed, or as a surface layer exposed by erosion (ii) Alluvium cemented with NaNO3, NaCl, and/or other soluble salts in the nitrate deposits of Chile and Peru
<)))
gravel, sand or desert debris cemented by porous calcium carbonate; also the calcium carbonate itself Found in Mexico and Southwest U S Calcium carbonate precipitated as surface or near-surface crusts by the evaporation of moisture in the pore spaces of soils
One or more layers of calcium carbonate deposited as water holding the carbonates in suspension evaporates This is similar to hard water deposits on drying dishes
caliche-topped
covered with caliche, a hard calcium-carbonate encrusted soil
