Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oxisols are among the most mature soils on Earth due to their high degree of weathering and leaching, resulting in the removal of most nutrients and minerals. They are common in tropical and subtropical regions with high rainfall and high temperatures. Andisols are young soils formed from volcanic ash and are typically found near active or recently inactive volcanoes. Entisols are also young soils with minimal development, while Inceptisols are slightly more developed but not as mature as Oxisols.
