These types [columnar and prismatic] are characterized by vertically oriented aggregates or pillars. These elongated columns vary in length with different soils and may reach a diameter of 6 inches or more. They commonly occur in the subsoil horizons of arid and semiarid region soils and when well developed are a very striking feature of the profile.
