    2. Inceptisols Inceptisols exhibit minimal horizon development. They are more developed than Entisols, but lack the features of other soil orders. Inceptisols are widely distributed and occur under wide ranges of ecological settings. They are often found on steep slopes, on young geomorphic surfaces, and on resistant parent material.

    3. Inceptisols Most of Inceptisols are found in mountainous areas such as central Idaho, northern Michigan, West Virginia, and in the Appalachian mountains in North Carolina. Inceptisols are also found in Texas, New Mexico and Colorado in the rockies, as well in California and Oregon. Globally, Inceptisols contain 9.8% of the ice-free land area. In the United States Inceptisols consume 9.7% of the land area.
