how many types of soil are found in india?

Question

pls. tell me urgently.
i have a project to do on it.

Answer 1

In India, the soils have been classified into the following major groups:

1. Alluvial soils

2. Black soils

3. Red soils

4. Laterite and lateritic soils

5. Mountain and hill soils

6. Arid and desert soils

7. Saline and alkali soils

Alluvial soil is the most extensive soil group, followed by black soil in India, Some important chareteristics of major soil groups are discussed in the practical.

Answer 2

Soil is the skin of earth.
in india soils can be classified as
alluvial soils
a. riverine alluvium
b. coastal alluvium
black soils
laterite soils
red soils
desert soils
mountain soils

red soils have maximum area coverage of 29.02% followed by black and alluvial soils.
alluvial soils make the most important group.
other classification makes soils as
zonal soils
azonal soils
and intra zonal soils

as per pedogenesis
these are alfisols
aridsols
antisols
and histosols

Answer 3

In India there are so many types of soils .
some are given below:
1)red soil
2)black soil
3)loamy soil
4)laterite soil
5)clay soil
6)alluvial soil
7)mountain soil

Answer 4

not all of it truly is - some is brown, some is reddish, some is quite yellow, some is greyish. It really relies upon on the shade of the rock which has been eroded to form the soil, with the addition of a particular quantity of organic and organic count number (which does tend to be black, so the further of that there is, the blacker the soil is in all likelihood to be).

2. SOILS AND TOPOGRAPHY
Major crust movements have been responsible for the sharply demarcated three-fold structural and physiographical divisions of India, each with its own characteristic features: the Peninsula, consists mainly of Pre-Cambrian rocks in a stable shield area; the extra Peninsula consists of folded and faulted sedimentary beds; and an intermediate tectonic rift valley, known as the Indo-Gangetic trough, is filled with a thick deposit of alluvium (Pichamuthu, 1967). These major topographical features have given rise to a mosaic of features, which are unique to the various geographical areas.

Soils are diverse and differ from area to area. Sixteen major types of soils have been recognized. These are red loamy soils (eastern Himalaya, eastern Ghats, Tamil Nadu uplands), red and lateritic soils (eastern plateau, north-eastern hills, western Ghats), red and yellow soils (eastern plateau adjoining central highlands), shallow and medium black soils (Deccan plateau, central Maharashtra and Karnatka plateau), medium and deep black soils (central highlands, Narmada Valley, Malwa plateau, Bundelkhand and Kathiawar peninsula), mixed red and black soils (parts of Deccan plateau, Telangana, Bellary and Anantpur regions of Karnatka plateau), coastal alluvium - derived soils (eastern and western coastal plains), alluvium - derived soils (western, northern and eastern plains), desert soils (southwestern Punjab, Haryana plains, Rajasthan, Marusthali and Kachchh peninsula), Tarai soils (foothills of central and western Himalaya), brown and red hill soils (eastern Himalaya), saline and alkali soils (Kathiawar peninsula, alluvial plains of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan), shallow and skeletal soils (Ladakh and Kashmir). Grey brown soils (foothills of Aravallis), brown forest and podzolic soil (north-western Himalaya),sandy and littoral soils (Lakashdweep and coastal areas of
