Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oxisols are highly weathered tropical soils which are found in areas with high rainfall and high temperatures. They are nutrient-poor and highly acidic due to the leaching of nutrients and minerals from the soil, and the high temperatures and moisture levels accelerate this process. Histosols, on the other hand, are organic soils that form in areas with high moisture and low temperatures, while aridisols form in arid and semi-arid regions. Alfisols and mollisols are found in temperate regions with moderate rainfall and temperatures.
