Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oxisols are highly weathered soils that typically occur in the tropics and have low fertility due to the leaching of nutrients. They are associated with areas of high rainfall and high temperatures, such as tropical rainforest areas like the Amazon basin. In contrast, Andisols are young, volcanic soils and may not be as common in these areas. Inceptisols and Mollisols can also occur in tropical regions but are not as commonly associated with tropical rainforests and wet-dry tropical climates.
