HERE IS UR ANSWER;

Bauxite deposits are formed chiefly by weathering of aluminous rock; some have been transported to their present locations, but most are residual accumulations from which most other constituents of the parent rock, other than alumina, have been leached.

TYPEA OF BAUXITE;

1)Gibbsitic bauxite: Most deposits of this type are in the tropics and a few occur in the temperate belts.

2)Boehmitic bauxite: Deposits of this type occur chiefly in southern Europe, the USSRand Turkey.
