    Question

    The windblown soils are associated with-

    A.

    Alluvial soil

    B.

    Lateritic soil

    C.

    Loess

    D.

    Black cotton soil

    Correct option is C


    Windblown soils are primarily associated with loess, which is a type of sediment that is transported by the wind and deposited in layers. Loess is characterized by its fine particles, which are typically silt-sized, and it often has a high nutrient content, making it suitable for agriculture. In contrast, alluvial soil is deposited by rivers, lateritic soil is formed in tropical regions through weathering, and black cotton soil is a type of regur soil known for its moisture-retaining properties. Thus, the correct association of windblown soils is with loess.
