Question 1
1 / -0

Which of the following statements regarding red soils of India is/are correct?
$$1$$. The colour of the soil is red due to ferric oxide content.
$$2$$. Red soils are rich in lime, humous and potash.
$$3$$. Red soils look yellow when it occurs in hydrated form.
Select the correct answer using the codes given.

A
$$1$$ only

B
$$1$$ and $$3$$ only

C
$$2$$ and $$3$$ only

D
$$1, 2$$ and $$3$$ only

Solution

Red soils develop a reddish colour due to diffusion of iron in crystalline and metamorphic rocks. It looks yellow when it occurs in a hydrated form.
Question 2
1 / -0

Which of the following soils are formed under typical monsoonal conditions?

A
Black Soils

B
Red Soils

C
Laterite Soils

D
None of these

Solution

The laterite soil develops in areas with high temperature and heavy rainfall. This is the result of intense leaching due to heavy rain. Due to the dry climate, high temperature, evaporation is faster and the soil lacks humus and moisture.
Question 3
1 / -0

The soils of the plains have not been derived ______.

A
from the Himalayan rocks

B
from the Peninsular rocks

C
only from the rocks existing locally

D
from material brought by the rivers
Question 4
1 / -0

Consider the following statements about the soils of India __________.
$$1$$. high temperature during most of the year retards the formation of humus
$$2$$. soils which have humus require regularly applicable of chemical fertilizers to remove nitrogen deficiency
$$3$$. titanium salts in basalt impart black, colour to the soils of the Indian plateau
$$4$$. red soils are confined to the peripheral areas of the Indian plateau
Which of the statements given is/are correct?

A
$$1$$ and $$2$$

B
$$1, 3$$ and $$4$$

C
$$2$$ and $$3$$

D
$$2$$ and $$4$$
Question 5
1 / -0

What is the chief characteristic of the soil of the Indo-Gangetic plain?

A
It is derived from Himalayan rocks

B
It is rich in humus

C
It is formed of peninsular rocks

D
It is derived from local rocks
Question 6
1 / -0

Put in descending order of area with the following soils in India ___________.
$$1$$. red soils
$$2$$. black soils
$$3$$. laterite soils
$$4$$. alluvial soils.

A
I, IV, II, III

B
IV, II, I, III

C
IV, I, III, II

D
I, III, IV, II
Question 7
1 / -0

Which of the following statement is incorrect?

A
Red soils are rich in iron

B
Black soils are rich in phosphorus nitrogen and organic matter

C
Alluvial soils are rich in potash but poor in phosphorus

D
Red soils are suitable for cultivation of pulses and coarse grains

Solution

Black soils are rich in soil nutrients, such as calcium carbonate, magnesium, potash and lime. These soils are generally poor in phosphoric contents.
Question 8
1 / -0

Which of the weathering agents is almost peculiar to the Indian Himalayas?

A
Wind

B
Glaciers

C
Snowfall

D
Running water

Solution

A glacier erodes through a process called ‘plucking’ in which it lifts pieces of rock and transports them. These pieces of rock and the moving ice together act like a sandpaper on the surface of the rock over which they flow. In the Himalayan region, the glacier is the major weathering agent.
Question 9
1 / -0

Which of the following soil is the most fertile?

A
Black soil

B
Alluvial soil

C
Red soil

D
Laterite soil

Solution

Alluvial soils as a whole are very fertile. Mostly these soils contain an adequate proportion of potash, phosphoric acid and lime which are ideal for the growth of sugarcane, paddy, wheat and other cereal and pulse crops. Due to its high fertility, regions of alluvial soils are intensively cultivated and densely populated.
Question 10
1 / -0

Black soil is suitable for the cultivation of?

A
Cotton

B
Rice

C
Jute

D
Wheat
