Answer 2

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

• Laterite soil is reddish-brown soil present in the Konkan region, western and the eastern ghats of India.
• This soil is present in areas with high temperatures. The organic component of the soil (humus) and the other microbes get destroyed due to the high temperatures.
• This makes the soil less fertile and unsuitable for cultivation.
• Heavy doses of manures and fertilizers are required for cultivation.
