Soil from the surroundings of the historic village of Abyaneh in the Iranian province of Isfahan.
Like terra fusca, this soil results from intense weathering of carbonate rock and is considered to paleosol, a soil, which are formed long periods ago that have no relationship in their characteristics to today's climate or vegetation.
The shape creating process is induced by the continuous, dropwise increasing effect of water on the reddish limestone clay in the dry state to the wet state in several intervals. This self-organized, relief-forming process is a scheme of geomorphological processes.
