vertisols are well developed soils its origin from alluvial deposits cracks closed and opened naturally with climatic conditions also the organic matter is high (more than 5%). vertic torrifluvents is a soil related to the entisols order not developed soil also it originated from alluvial deposits but these deposits usually found in a different environment from the origin very low organic matter some cracks are found closed and opened with the variation of agricultural seasons

Dear Dr. Mohamed,
As it mentioned by Dr. Rafat and according to American Taxonomy; Vertisols are called "Independent Order" while vertic torrifluvents are called Great Group belonging to another different independent order totally is called "Entisols" which is referred to non-developed soils. Vertic Torrifluvents is referring to the soils which are originated from fluvial deposits and are formed under torric climate conditions and its soil profile shows vertical position due to sedimentation and environmental conditions.
