Question

Write the climatic conditions in which the laterite soil develops. Why is the humus content low in this soil? Name any two crops grown in this soil.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The laterite soil develops in areas with high temperature and heavy rainfall. This is the result of intense leaching due to heavy rain. 

Humus content of the soil is low because most of the micro organisms, particularly the decomposers, like bacteria, get destroyed due to high temperature.
