Question

which mineral gives red colour
to soil​

Answer 1

Answer:

Iron oxide, Hematite

Explanation:

The red color might be mainly due to ferric oxides occurring as thin coatings on the soil particles while the iron oxide occurs as hematite or as hydrous ferric oxide, the color is red and when it occurs in the hydrate form as limonite the soil gets a yellow color.

Soils are colored by the minerals or other materials found in them. Oxides of iron are responsible for many of the colors we see. For example, the red color in many soils in the southern United States is caused by the iron oxide mineral, hematite.
