Laterite (from latin: later=brick) is a reddish clayey soil, hard when dry, forming the topsoil in many inter-tropical regions. It is the result of the chemical weathering of the soils over millions of years.
The red colour is due to the high concentration of Iron oxyde (generally Fe2O3). It also includes aluminium.
It is used a lot for making bricks for building.
