Add Tag | Summary: | Residual soils are found in many parts of the world. Like other soils, they are used extensively in construction, either to build upon, or as construction material. They are formed when the rate of rock weathering is more rapid than the transportation of the weathered particles by e.g., water, gravityand wind, which results in a large share of the soils formed remaining in place. |
