Q. Desert soil is abundant in:

A
Jammu Kashmir
B
Gujarat
C
Rajasthan
D
Assam
Solution:
  • The types of soil available in Rajasthan are mostly sandy, saline, alkaline and chalky (calcareous). Clay, loamy, black lava soil and nitrogenous soils are also found.

  • Desert soil has at least 90% of sand as its composition. Other types of soil have more clay and silt, which are better for allowing plants to thrive. Desert soil is also usually located in dry climates, and so, organic materials are not present to fertilize the soil in the first place.
