Entisols
Entisols are immature soils that lack the vertical development of horizons. These soils are often associated with recently deposited sediments from wind, water, or ice erosion. Given more time, these soils will develop into another soil type.
Entisol Soils that have little or slight development and properties that reflect their parent material (ent root from the word recent). They include soils on steep slopes, flood plains, and sand dunes. They also form on very resistant rock or deep deposits of sand. They occur in many environments.
