Answer 2

Answer:

Desert soils are dry, and tend to have clumpy vegetation.

1. Desert soils form in areas where the demand for water by the atmosphere (evaporation) and plants (transpiration) is much greater than precipitation.

2.Most desert soils are called Aridisols (dry soil).

3) iron content present in this soil turns in iron oxide due to diffusion.

Main reason of laterite soils formation is due to intense leaching. Leaching happens due to high tropical rains and high temperature. As a result of high rainfall, lime and silica are leached away, and soils rich in iron oxide and aluminium compound are left behind.
