Is this sentence correct?

"The soils turn to clays as moving to the south part of the watershed"

I'm revising a text for a friend; the 'as moving to' part sounds strange to me. It's technical so we can change simply to 'as we move to ...'

Suggestions?

Thx
 
it makes no sense, i'd delete the line totally.

"As we move to the south end of the watershed, the soil turns to clay."

your suggestion is good
 
"Motha'fkin bitches in dis joint was gettin' all suck 'n sh1t in the clay as we homies be pimp limpin' to da back of the crib"
 
Is the soil magically transforming into clay? Or 'clays', whatever 'clays' is. Probably not. So, no that sentence isn't even physically accurate, let alone gramatically accurate. Maybe it should say the "ground transitions from soil to clay".

As we moved towards the rear of the watershed, the rough dirt path gave way to shiny soft clay. It's oozing textures brough a tickling delight as it squeezed through our toes.

And then, the world ended.
 
As our panther class support scout vehicle traveled towards the southern sector of the Watershed nuclear weapons facility, the Anu'udrian mothership began transforming the soil under the facility into clay using its giant molecular-reassembly array; Time was running out.

So you are saying that it is false that time is an illusion? Then you back it up saying that it is true that time is not an illusion?

The soil turns to clay towards the southern part of the watershed. ???

I like this better though: "That shiznit be turning to clay when you get on over there!" 😉
