Answer:

The statement is False. Lateritic rocks are formed through chemical weathering.  

Explanation:

  • Lateritic rocks consists of iron and aluminium. Iron present in ferrous rocks gets oxidized in major.
  • The formation of iron oxide occurs when the iron in the atmosphere reacts with oxygen and leads to rusting and decomposes rocks from within resulting in withering.
  • The thickness varies widely resulting in insoluble irons.
  • These process occurs in the presence of high-temperature of a humid sub-tropical climate.
