Answers
Explanation:
(i) It is formed by the weathering of ancient crystalline and metamorphic rocks, particularly acid granites and gneisses, quartzitic rocks, and felspathic rocks. Chemically, red soil is siliceous and aluminous, with free quartz as sand, but is rich in potassium, ranging from sand to clay with the majority being loamy.
(ii) Black soil is suitable for dry farming because it is fine grained, rich in calcium and it can retain moisture to a large level and is sticky in nature.
