ALLUVIAL SOILS: This is the most important and widespread category. It covers 40% of the land area. In fact the entire Northern Plains are made up of these soils. They have been brought down and deposited by three great over the Himalayan rivers- Sutlej, Ganga and Brahmaputra- and their tributaries. Through a narrow corridor in Rajasthan they extend into the plains of Gujarat. They are common in eastern coastal plains and in the deltas of Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri.
REGUR SOILS: These soils are black in colour and are also known as black soils. Since, they are ideal for growing cotton, they are also called cotton soils, in addition to their normal nomenclature of regur soils. These soils are most typical of the Deccan trap (Basalt) region spread over north-west Deccan plateau and are made up of lava flows. They cover the plateaus of Mahrashtra, Saurashtra, Malwa and southern Madhya Pradesh and extends eastwards in the south along the Godavari and Krishna Valleys.
RED SOILS: These soils are developed on old crystalline rocks under moderate to heavy rainfall conditions. They are deficient in phosphoric acid, organic matter and nitrogenous material. Red soils cover the eastern part of the peninsular region comprising Chhotanagpur plateau, Orissa, eastern Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, the Nilgiris and Tamil Nadu plateau. Tey extended northwards in the west along the Konkan coast of Maharashtra.
LATERITE SOILS: The laterite soils is the result of intense leaching owing to heavy tropical rains. They are found along the edge of plateau in the east covering small parts of Tamil Nadu, and Orissa and a small part of Chhotanagpur in the north and Meghalaya in the north-east.
Besides these four broad types of soils, mountain soils and desert soils are found in respective areas of India.

Soils-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) New Delhi divides Indian soils into eight main classes, viz., (i) Alluvial, (ii) Coarse alluvial, (iii) Red soils lying on the metamorphic rocks, (iv) Laterite soil, (v) Black soil, (vi) Deep black soil, (vii) Light soil on e trap rocks, (viii) Deep black alluvial soil.
(i) Alluvial Soil-This type of soil is rich in chemical properties and is capable of yielding Rabi and Kharifcrops. This ^6il covers Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Asom and some other areas in India.
(ii) Black Soil-This soil covers the greater part of Maharashtra, Gujarat, the whole of Andhra pradesh and the Western part of Madhya Pradesh. Black soil is rich in chemical properties and very suitable for the growth of cotton, jowar, wheat, linseed, ground nut and gram. It is also known as Deccan Trap Soil or Regur.
(iii) Red Soil-This soil covers the whole of Tamil Nadu, rnataka and South-East Bombay and extends through the east of
Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh to Orissa and Chhotta Nagpur. In the north, it extends into some districts of West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh and it also covers the eastern half of Rajasthan.
(iv) Laterite Soil-This type of soil is found in Madhya Pradesh, Assam and along the Western and Eastern ghats.

The crops in the South were cash crops and crops in the North were consumable crops.
there are nine types of calendars used in India
The environment determined how people migrated (moved) and where they settled. It also determined what groups would have contact for trading purposes. Natural boundaries protected the people from invadors. Geography also affected the types of homes that were built, the types of crops that were grown, and the animals that were available for food.
The types of food that is grown in South Africa are tomatoes, lemon and other citrus fruit trees are also grown there and I think that green vegetables e.g. peas, green beans, runner beans etc. are grown too. I'm not too sure of any more, but I'll try and see if I can get those answers for whoever asks this question! They also grow peanuts and different types of grains
There were many types of crops that the Huang Valley produced. These crops included grapes, green onions, rice, wheat, and peaches.
