Which best describes the soils found in the southeastern United States?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What best describes the soils found in the southeastern United States is "weathered."

The top layer of the earth is called soil. It is a key resource for human survival on the planet because of fertile soil is vital to growing the crops that humans need to feed themselves and to trade, creating a profit for the country. Southeastern soil in the United States has an important component of sediment that comes from the weathering of rocks. The other component is plant litter, which is dead leaves and grass that create worms and fungi that provide nutrients to the soil.

I would say more damp and moist and warm due to its proximity to the equator and the ocean.
