Question

Acidic soils are mostly found in:
A. Cold climate
B. Hot climate
C. Dry climate
D. Humid climate
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) and (C) only
• (A) and (D) only
• (B) and (C) only

Hint:

Cold and humid climates favor the formation of acidic soils, often rich in organic matter but poor in nutrients.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Acidic soils are typically found in cold and humid climates. These regions receive ample rainfall, which leads to leaching of minerals and nutrients from the soil, resulting in higher acidity. Cold climates, with their slower weathering processes, also contribute to the formation of acidic soils.
