Consider the following statements. |
1. Oxisols are soils of equatorial, tropical and sub-tropical latitude zones, with a subsurface horizon of accumulation of mineral oxides and very low base status. |
2. Ultisols are very old highly weathered soils of low latitudes with a subsurface horizon of clay accumulation and low base status. |
3. Spodosols are soils of humid and sub-humid climates with a subsurface horizon of clay accumulation and high base status. |
Which of the statements) given above is/are correct? |
A) 1 and 2
B) 2 and 3
C) 1 and 3
D) Only 3
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
[d] Oxisols are very old, highly weathered soils of low latitudes with a subsurface horizon of accumulation of mineral oxides and very low base status. Ultisols are soils of equatorial, tropical and sub-tropical latitude zones with a subsurface horizon of clay accumulation and low base status. Spodosols are soils of cold, moist climates with a well-developed horizon of elevation and high base status.You need to login to perform this action.
