$\huge{ \boxed{ \bold{ \color{brown}{indian \: soils}}}}$

♚The Indian subcontinent is geological have many varieties of soil found like soils of peninsula plateau and other than that.

↪Major groups:

• Alluvial soils,
• Black soils,
• Red soils,
• Laterite and Lateritic soils,
• Forest and Mountain soils,
• Arid and Desert soils,
• Saline and Alkaline soils and
• Peaty and Marshy soils.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

☛Alluvial soils

Alluvial soils are formed mainly due to silt deposited by Indo-Gangetic-Brahmaputra rivers .They are the largest soil group covering about 15 lakh sq km or about 46 per cent of the total area.The soil is porous because of its loamy (equal proportion of sand and clay) nature.Some alluvial soils are found in the Narmada, Tapi valleys and Northern parts of Gujarat.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

☛Black soils

The parent material for most of the black soil are the volcanic rocks that were formed in the Deccan Plateau (Deccan and the Rajmahal trap). Spread over 46 lakh sq km (16.6 per cent of the total area) across Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, parts of Karnataka. These soils are best suited for cotton crop. 

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

☛Red soil

On the eastern and southern parts of the Deccan Plateau, the Red soil develops on crystalline igneous rocks.

These soils are abundant along the eastern slopes of Western Ghats, Odisha and Chhattisgarh and in the southern parts of the middle Ganga plain.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

☛Laterite soil

The Laterite soils develop in areas with high temperature and high rainfall and are common in the high altitude areas of Peninsular plateau.Laterite soil and is mainly found on the summits of the Western Ghats

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

☛Arid soil

Arid soils, which is sandy and saline soil is abundant in arid regions of western Rajasthan. These soils are poor and contain little humus and organic matter. The color appears from red to brown.

✵ Other soil are Forest soils, Saline soil and peaty soils.
