Hi,

This is a great topic for a science project. Here is a Science Buddies project on this topic that will give you the background information that you need for your research project.

Since you are in San Diego, you could also do a project on erosion on beaches,

For your research paper, you need to include information on types of soil in San Diego. Here's a link with some useful reference links for the specific information you need.

I hope this helps. What are you planning to do for your science project?

Cali,
Have you had a chance to learn more about what different types of soil are found in your area? This sounds like an interesting project!
