Laterite soil is found in the following regions:

• B. Satpuras
• C. Himalayan range
• D. Western ghats

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are
A Vindhyas
B Satpuras
D Western ghats

Laterite soil is found on hill slopes, which makes it prone to erosion and degradation, thus making it unsuitable for cultivation. It is found in the Western and Eastern Ghats, the Vindhyas, the Satpuras, and the Chotanagpur plateau. It is not a fertile soil and has very limited use in agriculture.
