Question 78

Which of the following soils is formed by weathering of crystall ine and metamorphic mixture of clay and sand?

Solution

The soil formed by the weathering of a crystalline and metamorphic mixture of clay and sand is Red soil. It is characterised by its high iron oxide content, which gives it its reddish colour. This weathering process primarily occurs on crystalline and metamorphic rocks.

Alluvial soil is formed from the deposition of silt, sand, and clay carried by rivers. It is typically found in river plains and deltas.

Black soil is formed from the weathering of volcanic rocks, particularly basaltic lava flows. It is rich in clay minerals and has a high water-holding capacity.

Laterite soil is formed in tropical areas with high temperatures and heavy rainfall. It is rich in iron and aluminium oxides due to intense leaching.
