These soils are found in a narrow belt near the south-west coast of India. These soils have low shearing strength and high compressibility. The marine clays are soft and highly plastic. They contain large amount of organic matter and are not suitable for construction of megastructures like buildings, cranes etc. [7] [8]

Such maps are typically richer in context and show higher spatial detail, yet are not necessarily more accurate than traditional soil maps. Soil maps produced using (geo)statistical technique can also include an estimate of the model uncertainty. [3] An example of a traditional soil map showing soil mapping units, described soil profiles and ...
Typical information in a published county soil survey includes the following: [1] a brief overview on how to use the survey; a general soil map for comparing the sustainability of large sections of the county; a detailed map with specific soil series outlined and indexed; a section on the use and management of soils
India and the United States cooperated in 2001, using Landsat MSS with a spatial resolution of 80 meters, to get accurate forest distribution data. India thereafter switched to digital images and advanced satellites with 23 meters resolution and software processing of images to get more refined data on forest quantity and forest quality.
