Question

3. Distinguish between transported and residual soil.​

Answer 1

Answer:

If the products of rock weathering are still present at the place of origin, the soil is called Residual Soil.

For example : Bentonite is a type of chemically weathered volcanic ash that is present on the parent rock from which it is formed.

If the soil has been transported away from its place of origin by wind, water or any other agency and has been redeposited elsewhere, it is called Transported Soil.

For example : Alluvial soils are eroded from hills by rivers and deposited from suspension in running water in the plains below.

It is usually formed from chemical or physical weathering and eventually covers the parent rock. the characteristics of residual soil depends on the that of the parent rock. They are very fertile as they consist of minerals from a variety of transported rocks.. The weathered pieces of rocks that have been carried by several agents like wind and water and finally breaks down into further small pieces to settle down is called transported soil.
