Detailed Solution

Laterite soil is formed as a result of extensive leaching.
Leaching occurs in laterite soil due to heavy tropical rainfall and hot temperatures. High rain washes away lime and silica, leaving soils rich in iron oxide and aluminium compounds behind. These soils form on the peaks of hills and uplands. These soils are low in organic matter, nitrogen, phosphate, and calcium but high in iron oxide and potash.
