Laterite soil undergoes the process of intense leaching.


Laterite soil is commonly formed in hot and wet tropical areas. It is rusty-red in colour because it has a high iron oxide content. It is formed by intensive and long-lasting weathering of the parent rock. The repetition of wet and dry seasons is an essential feature for the formation of laterite.
