ABSTRACT

By collecting, translating, and studying a large number of domestic and foreign literature on weathering crust research, this article reviewed the current status of weathering crust research and elaborated on the role of red soil in southern China. Progress in causes, eras, environment and climate. In the form of cases, from theory and practice 2. An overview of the geological surveys of weathering crust coverage areas at home and abroad, focusing on successful cases in geology, geophysics, geochemistry, soil, remote sensing, and drilling geological surveys of special geological areas of weathering crust abroad. For example, in order to better serve the weathering crust of special landform areas in my country 1:50,000 geological mapping pilot work.

KEYWORDS
