Answer 2

Answer:

The laterite soils are found in areas with high temperature and high rainfall.

Explanation:

What is laterite soil:

• Laterite soils form in high-temperature, high-rainfall environments.
• The outcome of heavy leaching caused by tropical rainfall.

Features of laterite soil:

• Lime and silica are washed away by rain, leaving soils rich in iron oxide and aluminium compound.
• Bacteria that flourish in high temperatures quickly deplete the soil's humus content.
• Organic matter, nitrogen, phosphate, and calcium are all deficient in these soils, whereas iron oxide and potash are abundant.
• Laterites are therefore unsuitable for cultivation; nonetheless, manures and fertilisers must be used to make the soils productive for farming.
• Tree crops like cashewnut thrive in red laterite soils in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Kerala.
• Laterite soils are commonly used in house construction as bricks.
• These soils have mostly developed on the Peninsular plateau's higher areas. Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, and the hilly districts of Odisha and Assam are all known for their laterite soils.
