Alluvial soils in India are restricted to the Indo-Gangetic plains in North India.
The Red and Yellow Soils are found over regions where the rocks are rich in ferrous elements
The laterite soils in India are found in regions of heavy rainfall like the Western Ghats, Shillong Plateau etc.
First statement is correct. Black soils are derivatives of trap lava and are spread mostly across interior Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Madhya Pradesh on the Deccan lava plateau and the Malwa Plateau, where there is both moderate rainfall and underlying basaltic rock. Second statement is incorrect. Alluvial Soils occur all along the Indo-Gangetic-Brahmaputra plains except in few places where the top layer is covered by desert sand. They also occur in deltas of the Mahanadi, the Godavari, the Krishna and the Cauvery, where they are called deltaic alluvium (coastal alluvium) Some alluvial soils are found in the Narmada, Tapi valleys and Northern parts of Gujarat. Third statement is correct. Red and Yellow Soils- Along the piedmont zone of the Western Ghat, a long stretch of area is occupied by red loamy soil. Yellow and red soils are also found in parts of Orissa and Chhattisgarh and in the southern parts of the middle Ganga plain. Fourth statement is also correct. Laterite and lateritic soils are mainly found on the summits of Western Ghats at 1000 to 1500 m above mean sea level, Eastern Ghats, the Rajamahal Hills, Vindhyas, Satpuras and Malwa Plateau.
