Detailed explanation-1: -Ans : Black soil has been also known as Regur soil, as well as it gets its name from its colour, which is black. Such black soil would be especially good for cotton cultivation, and it is commonly found throughout that Deccan trap area, which contains basalt, scattered throughout the North – western Deccan plateau.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Black soil is also known as regur soil and is formed by the weathering of Igneous rocks that form the Deccan plateau. Black soil is developed over Deccan lava granite rocks under semi-arid conditions.
