Question

character of arid soil

Answer 1

The three main characteristics of arid soil of India are
(i) Arid soils are the soils of desert or semi-desert regions and colours varies from red to brown.
(ii) The soil has sandy texture and salinity. As precipitation is very low the temperature is high and evaporation is faster making it lack in moisture and humus.
(iii) The calcium content increase downward and forms kankar layers downward and sometimes the kankar layer in the bottom layers restrict the infiltration of water. Sometimes, after irrigation its productivity is increased and it becomes suitable for cultivation.

Answer 2

Answer:
Arid soils range from red to brown in colour.

They are sandy in texture and saline in nature. In some areas, the salt content is very high and common salt is obtained by evaporating the water.

Due to dry climate, high temperature, evaporation is faster and the soil lacks humus and moisture.

The lower layers of the soil are occupied by Kankar because of the increasing calcium content downwards.

After proper irrigation, these soils become cultivable as has been in the case of western Rajasthan.
