Answer 2

$\Large\star\bold\red{Black\:Soils:-}$

This is also known as black cotton soil or regur soul. It covers 16 % of India's total geographical area.

Some features of black soil are as follows:

• It is found in the Deccan trap (Basalt) region and is made up of Lava flows.

• It covers the plateau areas of Saurashtra, Maharashtra, Malwa, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and also lies along the valleys of the Godavari and Krishna rivers.

• It is made up of extremely fine i,e., clay material and suitable for growing cotton.

• It is rich in nutrients like calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, potash and lime, but is poor in Phosphoric content.

• It develops deep crack during the hot summer, which helps in aeration of the soil. It becomes sticky (due to high moisture retention) when wet and becomes difficult to be tilled.

$\Large\star\bold\red{Red\:and\:Yellow\:Soils:-}$

• It is red in colour and covers 10.6 % of India's total geographical area.

• The red colour of this type of soil is due to diffusion of iron particles into crystalline and metamorphic rocks in low rainfall areas of the Deccan Plateau (eastern and southern parts).

• It turns yellow in its hydrated form.

• It is found in parts of Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and the Chotanagpur plateau areas of Chhatisgarh and Jharkhand.
