Detailed Solution

Laterite soil dominates the Western Ghats. The Latin word "later," which signifies brick, is the source of the English term "laterite." Under tropical and subtropical climates with alternating wet and dry seasons, the laterite soil forms. The severe rains that caused this soil's extreme leaching are to blame. Most lateritic soils are found in southern states, the Western Ghats region of Maharashtra, Odisha, certain areas of West Bengal, and the northeast regions. They are typically deep to extremely deep, acidic (pH6.0), and frequently lacking in plant nutrients.
