What is the opposite of light soils?
The opposite of light soils is heavy soils. Heavy soils have a high clay content and tend to hold more water and nutrients, making them more challenging for plant growth compared to light soils.
Laterite soils are most commonly found in which type of environment?
Laterite soils are most commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions with high temperatures and heavy rainfall. These environments are conducive to the intense weathering processes that lead to the formation of laterite soils.

What are a Pine trees needs?
There are many varieties of pine trees. I'll assume we are talking about the White Pine; most popular in the temperate zone. They like well drained, slightly acidic, moderately fertile soils, planted in full sun. Stay away from heavy clay soils. Or if planted in heavy clay soils plant the tree in a mound above the adjacent finished grades to provide better drainage away from the root system. Most pines will do best with these conditions.
What type of soil is on the central plains?
The central plains typically have a mix of fertile soils, including some of the most productive agricultural soils in the United States. These soils are often a combination of loam, silt, and clay, providing good drainage and nutrient retention for growing crops.
Is sand and soil the same?
Sand content is part of many different native "soils", but they are not exactly the same thing. Loam soil - the best kind for growing things - is made up of fairly equal proportions of sand, silt, clay and organic matter. Some soils are high in clay (called "heavy" soils). Some soils are high in sand content - the soil in my own yard for example. So in a sentence: Sand is a component of most soils - it is not "soil" by itself.
What soils found in found in the tropical evergreen forests?

What type of soils ground nuts can be grown?
Ground nuts can be grown in a variety of soil types, but they prefer well-drained sandy soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.0. They do best in soils with good fertility and adequate organic matter content. Heavy clay soils should be avoided as they can hamper root development and cause yield reduction.
What is most affected by rain?
Examples: vegetation and soils.
What do Thick soils form most readily on?
lowlands
Is the following sentence true or false Prairie soils are no longer among the most fertile soils in the world?
False. Prairie soils, specifically those found in the Midwestern United States, are still considered some of the most fertile soils in the world due to their high organic matter content and nutrient levels. These soils have been the backbone of productive agriculture in the region for many years.
