Red soils
1. Red soil is formed due to weathering of igneous and metamorphic rocks.
2. It is highly porous and less fertile but where it is deep it is fertile.
3. It is less crystalline.
4. It is red in colour due to the presence of iron in it.
They occur in parts of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Jharkhand.
Laterite soil
1. It is formed by the leaching process in the heavy rainfall areas of tropical India.
2. It is less fertile, only grass grows on it in abundance.
3. It is crystalline.
4. It is red in colour due to little clay and much gravel of red sand-stones.

Here is your answer :-
Laterite soils are mostly the end products of weathering. They are formed under conditions of high temperature and heavy rainfall with alternate wet and dry periods. ... Laterite soils are red in colour due to little clay and more gravel of red sand-stones.
➡️Explanation in brief :-
Red soil:-
Red soil is a type of soil that develops in a warm, temperate, moist climate under deciduous or mixed forest, having thin organic and organic-mineral layers overlying a yellowish-brown leached layer resting on an illuvial red layer. Red soils are generally derived from crystalline rock.
Lateritc soil:-
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.
