Book excerpt: Excerpt from Venezuela, Vol. 1 The geological formation of the mountains in Venezuela is, in the main, of granite and gneiss, but in some few localities calcareous rocks are found. In the valleys and plains the soil is covered by detritus carried from the mountains by the rains. Solid granite abounds in the regions east of the great bend of the Orinoco River, where the soil is generally barren. In the mountain ranges of the Orinoco and in those forming the agricultural zone or belt gneiss predominates. The vegetable soil is exceptionally rich in this zone, where it sometimes attains the depth of 2 meters. The Andes range is mainly formed of Plutonic rocks, granite, and gneiss, but frequently large marble beds are found in the mountains. The soil on both sides is of Neptunian origin.
