Black Belt (geological Formation)
Black Belt is a physical geography term referring to a roughly crescent-shaped geological formation of dark fertile soil in the Southern United States. It is about long and up to wide in ca. east-west orientation, mostly in central Alabama and northeast Mississippi. During the Cretaceous period, about 145 to 66 million years ago, most of what are now the central plains and the Southeastern United States were covered by shallow seas. Tiny marine plankton grew in those seas, and their carbonate skeletons accumulated into massive chalk formations. That chalk eventually became a fertile soil, highly suitable for growing crops. The Black Belt arc was the shoreline of one of those seas, where large amounts of chalk had collected in the shallow waters. History Before the 19th century, this region was a mosaic of prairies and oak-hickory forest. In the 1820s and 1830s, the region was identified as prime land for upland cotton plantations. Short-staple cotton did well here, and it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
