There are 8 types of soils in India. 1.Alluvial soils 2.Black soils 3.Red soils 4.Laterite soils 5.Moutainous soils 6.Desert soils 7.Saline soils 8.Peat soils
No you can get sandy soils, clay soils, loamy soils, stony soils etc depending on what they consist of
Sandy soils are much more permeable that clay soils.
The sandy soils let the water pass through but the clay soils hold the water
how do forest soils different from prairie soils

Alluvial soils, Piedmont soils, Hill soils , Lateritic soils
clay soils, loamy soils and sandy soils

Sandy soils are much more permeable that clay soils.
Sandy soils are generally less fertile than clay soils because they do not hold water as well as clay soils. Clay soils are usually fertile and hold more nutrients than sandy soils.

sandy soils
The American classification for such soils are Mollisols. The Canadian soil classification denotes such soils as Chernozemic soils.
North India is mostly made up of alluvial soils, but there are also mountain and submountain soils, teral soils, grey and brown soils, and desert soils.
