        Most defined and every soil within has the same parent material, horizons, depth, and morphology. This is used for naming soils.
        
        Ex: Galehills Series: Entisols
        
        Ex (2): Ednsaw Series; Alfisols
        
        Ex: Albus Series; Alfisols
        
        Ex: Alvios Series; Entisols
        
        Describes the chemical and physical structure like particle size. cation exchange, pH, mineralogy, permeability, temperature, and structure.
        
        Ex: Loamy-skeletal; is the particle size >2mm, micaceous; describes the mineralogy with more micaceous clays. frigid; low temperatures with annual are greater than zero but below 8 degrees Celsius. Has a warmer soil in the summer.
        
        Ex (2): Fine; Particle size, mixed: mineralogy, superactive: CEC activity, nonacid: No acidic pH, isomesic; Temperature regime of being 8 degrees celsius or more but different mean averages for winter and summer.
        
        Ex: Loamy-skeletal; is the particle size >2mm, mixed; different minerals and particles, superactive; the CEC is extremely active, calcareous; soils containing amounts of calcium carbonate Thermic; means the annual soil temperature is 15 degrees celsius or higher but lower than 22 degrees Celsius.
        
        Ex(2): Fine; Particle size, mixed: mineralogy, active; CEC is 0.4-0.6, thermic; means the annual soil temperature is 15 degrees celsius or higher but lower than 22 degrees Celsius
        
        Explain how the soils are similar to others within the profile. Its identifies major property that affects its use.
        
        Ex: Lithic; which is hard bedrock and rock fragments without the soil horizon.
        
        Ex (2): Oxyaquic: oxygen and wet surface during most growing season.
        
        Ex: Ultic; normally acidic soils located in humid and subtropical with highly weathered soils.
        
        Ex (2): Typic: Typical to the soil horizon.
      - Defined based on the presence of other diagnostic horizons.
        
        Ex: Hapl; minimum horizons
        
        Ex (2): Fluv: Fluvomaine deposits near a floodplain.
      - Ex: Torr; usually dry and hot
        
        Ex(2): Hap: Is the minimum soil horizons
    - - Ex: orth; seasonal fluctuations in moisture suitable for agriculture.
        
        Ex(2): Udalfs: Soils of the forest.
    - - Ex (2): Aqu; Aquic: wet surface during browning season.
  - - - Ex (2): Ents; recent; Entisols: little profile development, diverse group, development limited by time and climate.
- - - - Horizons present: O, Ag,Clg, C2g, 2Cg
      - Location: The soils occur around San Francisco Bay and other tidal flats of California. The soils are inextensive.
- - - - Horizons within A, Bk, and R.
  - - - Horizons Present: A, E, 2Bt1, 2Bt2, 2BC, 2Cr
