Which of the following statement is correct about laterite soil in Rajasthan?
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Answer: A
The correct statement is that it is formed by the crystalline and metamorphic rocks.
Laterite soil develops by intense weathering and leaching of crystalline and metamorphic rocks under high temperature and alternating wet and dry seasons. In Rajasthan it occurs in a small area of the south, in Dungarpur and Banswara.
The other statements are wrong. It is not found in the western desert. Its colour is red, not black, because of iron oxides. Leaching strips it of nitrogen, phosphorus and lime, so it is poor, not rich, in nitrogen.
