Question

Which Soil is found on khasi hills?

Answer 1

The soils of the hills are derived from gneissic complex parent materials; they are dark brown to dark reddish-brown in colour, varying in depth from 50-200 cm. The texture of soils varies from loamy to fine loamy. The soils of the alluvial plains adjacent to the northwest and southern plateau are very deep, dark brown to reddish-brown in colour and sandy-loam to silty-clay in texture.

Answer 2

hey mate....

Read loamy soil is found on khasi hills.

explanation

The red loamy soils are found all along the foot hills and sub-mountain fringes of the region. But, these soils are predominant in central upland of Khasi-Jaintia Hills, where the soil is mostly sandy because of the sandstone outcrops, whereas in parts of Ri-Jaintiaarea the soil tends to be silty.
