Information Booster:
Laterization- Lateralization is a soil formation process that occurs in tropical and subtropical regions with high rainfall and temperatures. It is characterized by the removal of silica and other soluble elements from the soil, leaving behind a residue of iron and aluminium oxides.
Podsolization- This occurred in a cool and humid climate where bacteria activity is low. In this region, the thick dark organic surface having organic compounds can be translocated by heavy rainfall. It is acidic soil and poor for agriculture. It develops in area of coniferous forests.
Gleization- Gleization is a typical pedogenic regime soil that occurs in a moist or cool and cold climate. Occurs in poorly drained but saline environments.
Calcification- It occurs in dry climates. In such a climate, the annual precipitation is not sufficient to leach the carbonate out of the soil to the groundwater below.
