- This Soil is not suitable for agriculture and growing plants as it has very low nutritional value and poor water holding capacity.
- This type of soil is prominent in deserts only out of the three options as:
⇒Tropical region has tropical soils which are moist ad rich in dead organic matter.
⇒ Hilly areas have forest ad mountain soil which are are formed by the deposition of organic matter derived from forest growth.
⇒Polar region contains permanently frozen soil which remains frozen and covered with ice even in the warmest seasons.
⇒Desert areas have sandy soil because of the high temperature. This type of soil soaks water very quickly ad appears to be dry ad crusty.
