Abstract In the volcanic regions of Tanzania, including Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Meru, and Mt. Kieyo, soils are formed on relatively recent tephra deposits ( 500 mm) with low H4SiO40 activities. More kaolinite was detected at the low elevation sites with high H4SiO40 activities in soil solutions. Soil moisture and temperature are critical factors influencing the distribution of secondary minerals, whereas parent material compositions have less effect on soils in the volcanic regions of Tanzania.
