Relación entre morfogénesis y pedogénesis en la cuenca del río Clarillo, Región Metropolitana de Santiago, Chile.

Abstract

The purpose of the present work is to determine the existing relation between the morphogenesis and the pedogénesis in the basin of the Rio Clarillo. As well, it is aimed at improving the level of detail of the geomorphologic study of the area, and advancing in classifying the existent soils. The study was carried out between the years 1999 and 2000. The study area embraces the half sector and under of the basin of the Rio Clarillo. The used methodology you development in three stages: (a) geomorphologic study; (b) soil study carried out via analyzing in the laboratory key elements (grain, morphosco-py and superficial state of the sands). Finally these characteristics associated were associated to each one of the geomorphological units identify in the area. According to the results a relationship was observed between the genesis of the materials and the genesis of the soils
