Question 12 • DRHS GA-GSE Earth Systems
Gelisols are soils found in very cold regions, where permafrost occurs within or near the soil profile. The Arctic’s persistently frozen ground makes Gelisols the most likely choice. Andisols form from volcanic material, Histosols are rich in organic matter, and Spodosols commonly form in cool, humid forests.
