Answer 2

Answer:

Laterite has been derived from the Latin word letter which means brick. The laterite soil develops in areas with high temperature and heavy rainfall. This is the result of intense leaching due to heavy rain. Humus content of the soil is low because most of the microorganisms, particularly the decomposers, like bacteria, get destroyed due to high temperature. Laterite soils are suitable for cultivation with adequate doses of manure and fertilizers. These soils are mainly found in Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Madhya pradesh, and the hilly areas of odisha and Assam. After adopting appropriate soil conservation techniques particularly in the hilly areas of Karnataka, Kerala and tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala are more suitable for crops like cashew nut.
