Answer:
The soil found in hot regions and tropical zones is considered rich in iron oxide contents, usually known as laterite soil. The soil usually appears red in color due to the high amount of iron oxide.
Laterite soil is found in coastal areas of southeast, Australia, and Nigeria. Laterite soil has poor fertility and does not exchange ions due to high clay mixture.
