The eternal question: Why deep the topsoil on top of The Ridge Comments re photo 53194 Happy Tail Horses grazing in high hills of S Central Adair Co By Billy Joe Fudge Inquiring minds need to know and I have a question for any of your geologist followers or maybe even those who are considered wantabe geologists. Growing up on The Ridge I've, as I am accustomed to do, noticed a couple of geological anomalies that I believe are associated but for which I have no explanation. First, the Ridge which stretches West and Northwest from near the intersection of Highway 704 and Highway 768 to the Keltner area near the Green and Metcalfe County lines has in many places over 50 feet of Red Clay subsoil piled up on the underlying bedrock. I don\'t know how it arrived there. Secondly, much of the area between the area North and Northeast of The Ridge including The Flatwoods West of Pettit's Fork, the Gradyville area, the Milltown area and The Flatwoods area around Portland has as little as 2 or 3 feet of Gray Clay subsoil, with some Red Clay occasionally covering the bedrock. I don\'t know how this area came to exist. So, are there geological theories explaining these two areas and is the shallow soil depth in one area and an excess of soil depth in another area adjacent to the other associated? - Billy Joe Fudge This story was posted on 2014-01-19 12:51:02
