Question

why laterite soils are used as building material

Answer 1

Laterite soils are used as a building material because they become hard like iron when exposed to air. So, they are used as a building material.

Laterite soils are red in color due to the presence of iron oxide. These soils are generally coarse in texture and friable and porous in nature. They are very rich in iron. They are poor in lime, magnesium, phosphoric acid and potash. 

All these properties of laterite soil make it unique as a valuable building material.
