Question

Black soil has high retentivity of Moisture Than The Red Soil. Why?

Answer 1

Black soil has high retentivity of moisture then the red soil this is because:
★Black soil is formed by basalt Rock which has high density of moisture whereas red soil has formed by old igneous rocks which is dry and has no moisture.

THIS IS THE REASON WHY BLACK SOIL HAS HIGH RETENTIVITY OF MOISTURE THAN THE RED SOIL.

Answer 2

Answer:

Black soil, as the name suggests is black in colour as it is composed of the magmatic basalt rock. Basalt rocks are known for the retention of high density of moisture, which is characteristic to the basaltic rock. Red soil on the other hand is formed of old igneous rocks, and mainly contains iron in it. This is why, red soil is generally dry and lacks any moisture in it, and "cannot retain moisture" in it as well.
