Our Year 10 class measure the density of Laterite and after 6 trials we found the density of Western Australian laterite to be approximately 2.5g/cm3
No, laterite is not a sedimentary rock. It is actually a type of soil or regolith that forms in tropical and subtropical regions. Laterite is formed through the weathering of various rocks, including basalt, limestone, and granite.
Iron oxide

Its density. Density is mass per unit volume.
This is the determination of the specific density (the ratio liquid density/water density).
Because It has laterite in it.
Laterite is used for construct houses, it gives a beautiful and a earthy home. U can save lots by building with a laterite.
Laterite soil is found in Tamil Nadu and Orissa.
Laterite soil is red in colour due to the presence of oxides of iron.
tea, cashew nut are some crops grown in laterite crops answer by nikhil bisht
Laterite soil is formed by the leaching of lateritic rocks so it is known as leached soil
J. A. Prescott has written: 'Laterite and lateritic soils' -- subject(s): Soils, Laterite, Analysis
the crops grown in laterite soil are coconut tea and coffee . it is rich in iron and aluminum hydroxide.
Laterite soils were formed in wet tropical conditions, causing rapid leaching of silicate and other minerals.
Pedalfer is associated with a moist climate, Pedocal with a dry climate and laterite with a wet climate.
Lyle T. Alexander has written: 'Genesis and hardening of laterite in soils' -- subject(s): Laterite
Plants growing on laterite depend on decaying litter for nutrients because laterite contains very few soluble minerals, which have been leached by the wet and humid climate of their tropical locations (present day).
