Description
Weathered
granodiorite
,
Shirasakatage
.
--
In
mountainous
terrain
weathered
rock
material
, a
major
component
of
soil
,
is
rapidly
carried
away
downslope
. The
result
is
soil
that
is
thin
,
poor
and
rocky
. The
eroded
material
may
be
deposited
along
a
river
farther
downstream
producing
a
floodplain
, or
it
may
be
carried
all
the
way
to the
sea
.
Because
most
Japanese
rivers
and
streams
are
short
and
fast
moving
,
much
of the
material
goes
to the
sea
.
Agriculture
is
difficult
in the
mountainous
parts
of
Japan
because
of
steep
slopes
and
poor
soils
, and
much
of this
land
remains
covered
by
forest
.
