Answer:

The first kind of red soil is residual soil. It is produced when the rocks are weathered due to rainwater, weather, and chemicals. Sometimes, after degeneration has occurred, the newly formed soil particles do not get carried to a different location. This type of red soil is called residual soil.

Explanation:

Red soil is a soil that is characterized by its reddish color. It is also called Terra Rossa, which is Italian for "red earth." Red soil is found in areas where the climate is warm and humid, such as in tropical and subtropical regions. It is fertile and good for agriculture.

Residual soils are formed when soils or rocks weather at the same location due to chemicals, water, and other environmental elements, without being transported.
