Premise for research is the geometry of Death Valley cannot be resolved using traditional Basin and Range faulting concepts. Authors propose that the complex tectonics in Death Valley are part of a single larger system of deformation, regionally related to right-lateral slip on the San Andreas fault. Soils support the growth of higher plants by providing a medium for plant roots and supplying nutrient elements that are essential to the entire plant.. Soil properties are the principal factor controlling the fate of water in the hydrologic system. Water loss, utilization, contamination and purification are all affected by the soil..
