Answer:
Explanation:
I will explain you a basic concept of soil classification.
Soil are classified in various way,like structure, vegetation based, nutrient base , climate based and even more.
Climate based classification is broad but will clear your doubt.
Laterite soil is formed due to a process called laterization and this process takes place at high temp and high precipitation area so due to high temperature the moisture in soil in depleted and high precipitation causes excessive leaching and hence rendering the soil a bit acidic.
