Comparing a residual with a transported soil for foundation purposes, the residual soil
Answer: B
Correct answer: can be anticipated from the rock beneath it
A residual soil is the decomposition product of the rock below, so knowing that rock allows its character to be predicted - a granite gives a clayey sand, a basalt a heavy clay - and the profile grades continuously into fresh rock. A transported soil has no such relation to what lies beneath and must be investigated on its own. Residual soils certainly contain clay, and are not automatically stronger.
