Question Question 18
Why does laterite soil undergo leaching?
The laterite soils are formed in area of high temperature and heavy rainfall. High temperature and heavy rainfall leads to leaching of Laterite soils. In addition, laterite soil tends to be well-drained, which means it does not retain water well. As it does not become sticky and wet, this also leads to its leaching.
