Question

write a short note on red soil

Answer 1

Red soils are formed by weathering of the ancient crystalline and metamorphic rocks. Their color is red due to their very high iron content. They are found in areas of low rainfall and is obviously less leached than laterite soils. They are sandier and less clayey soils.

Red Soil in India are poor in phosphorus, nitrogen and lime contents. The red soils covers a large portion of land in India. It is found in Indian states such as  Tamil Nadu, southern Karnataka, north-eastern Andhra Pradesh and some parts of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Odisha.

Answer 2

Answer: Red soil is a particular kind of soil distinguished by its reddish hue. Terra Rossa, which translates to "red earth" in Italian, is another name for it.

Explanation:

In warm, humid climates like those found in tropical and subtropical countries, red soil can be found. Usually, it is ideal for agriculture and fertile. Rocks containing iron oxides weather and turn into red soil. Basalt is the most typical form of rock that contributes to red soil. Basalt is broken down into smaller pieces during the weathering process, and the smaller particles are then further broken down into silt and clay. Weathering of the older crystalline and metamorphic rocks produces red soils. Due to their extremely high iron concentration, they are red in colour. They are typically found in dry regions and plainly leach less than laterite soils. They have less clay and are sandier.
