Answer:
Red and yellow soil is formed by weathering of crystalline igneous and metamorphic rocks.
Explanation:
What is red and yellow soil?
- It is formed by weathering of crystalline igneous and metamorphic rocks, particularly acid granites, felspathic rocks, quarzitic rocks, etc.
- It generally forms on old crystalline rocks.
- It is called red-yellow soil because it contains iron in its oxide form.
- It contains silica and aluminum with free quartz as sand and is a rich source of potassium.
- The upper layer of red soil is porous and sandy, while most lower layer is very fertile.
- In this type of soil, with proper irrigation and fertilizer use, crops such as potatoes, tobacco, oilseeds, cotton, etc. can be grown.
