Laterite is a soil and rock type rich in iron and aluminium, and is commonly considered to have formed in hot and wet tropical areas. Nearly all laterites
are of rusty-red coloration, because of high iron oxide content. They
develop by intensive and long-lasting weathering of the underlying
parent rock.

Most easy answer is that it is formed by LEACHING. Leaching is the process in which nutrients get percolated in the soil hence making the top soil infertile....HOPE IT HELPS :)
