Abstract
Weathering processes and soil development have been classically considered as two aspects of a single phenomenon which is the transformation of rocks under climatic conditions (meteorization). White (1995) gave a clear definition of what is classically considered as a soil profile: The soil profile is generally considered to make up the upper part of a much thicker weathering profile. A more inclusive definition of a soil profile is the vertical section that includes all the layers that have been pedologically altered during chemical weathering.
