Detailed Solution

The black soil gets its name from the black colour of the soil. This type of soil is found in the Deccan plateau and is of volcanic origin. States like Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and the Malwa plateau have this type of soil.
Alluvial soil formed by the deposition of sediments by rivers is most common in the Ganga-Brahmaputra plains, which form the Northern Plains.
Arid soil is generally sandy and is found in the desert regions of Western Rajasthan, Haryana, and Punjab.
Forest soil is predominantly found in hilly areas and valleys. This includes the Himalayan region and its extensions.
