caliche
caliche (calcrete) Carbonate horizon (the K horizon) formed in a soil in a semiarid region, under conditions of sparse rainfall (20–60 mm/yr) and a mean annual temperature of about 18 °C, normally by the precipitation of calcium carbonate carried in solution. The
soil profile develops over several thousand years, initially in the form of nodules (glaebules), more mature caliches taking a massive, laminar form. It may become
cemented and
indurated on exposure, when it gives rise to a tabular landscape. See also
CALCIC;
DURICRUST;
DURIPAN; and
PETROCALCIC.
