Detailed explanation-3: -Laterite Soil The laterite soils develop in areas with high temperature and high rainfall. These are the result of intense leaching due to tropical rains. With rain, lime and silica are leached away, and soils rich in iron oxide and aluminium compound are left behind.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Laterite soil develops in the areas with high temperature and heavy rainfall. This soil is highly leached due to heavy rains. The humus content of laterite soil is low as most of the microorganisms, particularly the decomposers, like bacteria, get destroyed due to high temperature.
