Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\naim of this research was conducted in 2018, to study the mineralogical\nproperties as well as, the origin of the soil formed on an igneous rock in the\ncoastal region in lattakia governorate. Soil survey had been conducted in the\nstudy area, then two soil profiles were chosen as a representative one. Soil\nprofiles were described and soil samples were collected for physical, chemical,\nmorphological, and mineralogical studies. The results showed that the soil\nprofiles were undeveloped, newly formed, with high soil composition formed from\nthe parent material. The micro morphological study of the parent material, as\nwell as the mineralogical composition and weathering process emphasized the\ndomination of primary minerals, where the weathering process was still in the\nearly stages. Nevertheless, the occurrence of some secondary minerals such as\nKaolinite and Leucite can be considered as transferred minerals or formed in a\nprevious suitable conditions for it. Similarly, Philipsite can be considered as\nsecondary minerals formed from weathering of igneous rocks. All in all, according\nto the American soil classification, the soil can be classified as follows: (Order,\nSuborder, Great group, Sub group).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P1:\nEntisols, Orthents,\nXerorthents,  Typic\nXerorthents .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P2:\nEntisols, Orthents, Xerorthents, Lithic Xerorthents .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keywords<\/strong>:\nMineral composition, Micro morphological study, Diagnostic properties, Soil\nclassification, Weathering indicators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
