Transported soil is blown or washed away from its parent rock. Soil that remains at the place of formation is called residual soil. The weathered pieces of rocks that have been carried by several agents like wind and water and finally breaks down into further small pieces to settle down is called transported soil.

Answer 2

Answer:

Residual soils are formed from the weathering of rocks and practically remain at the location of origin with little or no movement of individual soil particles.

Transported soils are those that have formed at one location (like residual soils) but are transported and deposited at another location.
