The land surface in and around the city of Houston is composed of alternating layers of red gray sandy brown and black organic clay; these strata generally dip to the southeast at a slope of 0.06% (3 feet (0.91 m) of vertical change for every 1 mile (1.6 km) of distance traveled). These soils were deposited by tributaries of local waterways particularly the Brazos and Trinity rivers.
