Answers
soils are acidic with low humus content
Answer:
1. Inland alluvial soil
It is present inland in the river basins. e.g.; Ganga- Brahmaputra river basin and Indus basin. It is rich in humus and is more fertile.
2. Laterite
The Laterite soil develops in the areas with high temperature and heavy rainfall. This soil is highly leached due to heavy rains. The humus content of laterite soil is low as most of the microorganisms, particularly the decomposers, like bacteria, get destroyed due to high temperature.
3. Loamy soils
Loam is soil made with a balance of the three main types of soil: sand, silt, and clay soil. As a general rule, loam soil should consist of equal parts of all three soil types. This combination of soil types creates the perfect soil texture for plant growth.
