Aridisols are the soil order that occur in the world's dry regions, covering 19% of the Earth's land surface. Oxisols are highly weathered, low-fertility soils of tropical and subtropical regions. Mollisols are rich, dark, and fertile soils that occur in grasslands. Andisols are soils that have developed from volcanic ash and are found in areas with recent volcanic activity. Spodosols are acidic soils that occur in forested regions with cool and humid climates.
