Question

Removal of finer materials down from upper to lower part of soil profile leads to the formation of ------

• C. Karsi soils
• D. Kankar

Hint:

Link the soil formation process (like illuviation) with specific soil types for accurate identification.

The Correct Option is C

Karsi soils are formed due to the process of illuviation, where fine particles like clay and silt are leached down from the upper layers and accumulate in the lower horizon.
