Nov 14, 2006 · Using the Gallery Walk technique, student groups will predict how the soil forming factors of climate, vegetation, topography, parent material, and time contribute to soil characteristics from various locations. Groups will then present their analysis either in an oral or written assignment.
Soil morphology focuses on standardizing descriptions of soil properties and features in the field. Although often qualitative and empirical, these descriptions aid in the interpretation of soil properties measured in the laboratory through chemical, biological and physical methods.

Potworms, myriapods, centipedes, millipedes, slugs, snails, fly larvae, beetles, beetle larvae, and spiders are typical members of the macrofauna. Many of these animals burrow in the soil, aiding soil drainage and aeration; in addition, some organic material passes into the soil through the burrows.

Soil morphology is the branch of soil science dedicated to the technical description of soil, [1] particularly physical properties including texture, color, structure, and consistence. Morphological evaluations of soil are typically performed in the field on a soil profile containing multiple horizons .
