Detailed Solution

The red soil is red in colour because it is rich in iron compounds. India is a country blessed with varied landforms and soil with rich vegetation and wildlife; the diverse landforms, relief features, climatic conditions, and vegetation types give rise to different soils. Also, it develops a yellow colour in a hydrated form. It prospers on the crystalline igneous rocks in the areas receiving low amounts of rainfall, such as the eastern and southern parts of the Deccan plateau. It is found in the states of Odisha, Chattisgarh, and zones of Western ghats.
