Detailed Solution

Due to intense leaching, laterite soil is formed. 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. 'Later' is a Latin word which means 'brick'. The laterite soil prospers in a tropical and subtropical climate with ideal dry and wet seasons alternatively. The characteristic feature of this soil is its acidic nature, with a deficiency in plant nutrients marking its presence in southern states.
