Zorluk: KolayState Economy, Agriculture, and Natural Resources

In the context of state economic geography and natural resource distribution, which soil type, formed under conditions of high temperature and heavy rainfall with intense leaching, is widely present in hilly and plateau tracts?

  1. Laterite soilCevap
  2. B
    Black (Regur) soil
  3. C
    Alluvial soil
  4. D
    Desert (Arid) soil

Cevap

Laterite soil
Laterite soil develops in tropical and subtropical regions characterized by high temperatures and heavy seasonal rainfall, causing heavy leaching of silica compounds while leaving behind residual iron and aluminum oxides.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the soil formation process described in the stem.
High temperatures combined with intense tropical rainfall lead to leaching of soluble minerals and silica.
Leaching of silica leaving behind iron and aluminum oxides is the defining mechanism of lateritic soil formation.
2
Match the weathering process to the correct regional soil type.
Laterite soil is predominantly found on high-altitude plateau surfaces and hilly tracts.
This soil type is characteristic of regions supporting plantation crops like tea, coffee, and cashew.
