Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lateritic soils are commonly found in warm and moist tropical regions, such as the rainforests of the Amazon basin and Southeast Asia. These soils develop as a result of intense weathering and leaching, which removes most of the soluble minerals from the soil and leaves behind a highly weathered, iron-rich layer at the surface.
