Question

Distinguish between transported and residual soil.​

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Transported soil is blown or washed away from its parent rock. Soil that remains at the place of formation is called residual soil. ... Residual soil remains above its parent rock. It is usually formed from chemical or physical weathering and eventually covers the parent rock.
