Abstract

Mineral content of the soil determines various properties including nutrient that can bereleased during the weathering process. The research to identify the minerals in Andisol developedfrom the eruption of Mt. Tangkuban Parahu and Mt. Patuha had been conducted to determine theminerals content in the sand fraction. This research was conducted in several steps: the field survey,soil sampling, and laboratory analysis. The field locations were in the forest of Cikole, Lembang,West Java derived from the eruption Mt. Tangkuban Parahu and in the forest of Patengan,Rancabali, West Java derived from the eruption of Mt. Patuha. Sand fraction was separated from siltand clay by wet sieving method, using the 50 micron siever. Microscopic observation for identifyingthe minerals was done with polarization microscope to the color, luster, shape of grains and crystals,cleavage, hardness, transparency, translucent, and magnetic properties. The results showed that thesand fraction of Andisol derived from Mt. Tangkuban Parahu and Mt. Patuha had the mineralcontent as hypersthene, diopside, orthoclase, oligoclase, anorthite, andesine, hornblende, biotite,quartz, corundum, magnetite dan sulphur, showed that the weathering those minerals cancontribute some nutrients like Mg, Ca, K Fe, and S to the soilKey words: hyperstene, diopside, anorthite, hornblende, biotite

Abstract

Mount Padang was famous megalith sites placed in Cianjur District. Mani discipline of science studied Mount Padang sites in order to find out the truth of histories. Based on geological studies, Mount Padang sites constructed by andesitic rock, this argument need more fact for get the real data. This research aimed to analysis pedological proses in Mount Padang sites. The result of study was soil classification which description by soil profile. Based on result of reseach the soil in Mount Padang formed in Qv rock formation. The result of soil profile analized with 2 meters depth, there was 10 layer formed e.g Ap, AB, Bw1, Bw2, BC1, BC2, CB1, CB2, C1, and C1. The genesis of Mount Padang soil was in viril levels, due to molic epipedon and cambic that found as below horizon diagnostics. Based on soil taxonomy, this pedon were classified as Typic Dystrudepts.Key words: megalith sites, andesitics rock, soil profile, viril, cambic
