The soil of the Surguja District can be broadly classified into four major types: red and yellow soils, alluvial soils, laterite soils, and medium blue soils.
Red and yellow soils are derived from the parent rocks of the Gondwana System including sedimentary rocks. They are formed in-situ from the erosion of such rocks caused by rain. This soil is found particularly in east Sitapur, south Ambikapur, central Surajpur and Pratappur blocks. The red color is due to wide diffusion of iron while hydration of ferric oxide results in a yellow color in the soil. This soil is of lighter texture and has a porous and friable structure. Soluble salt is found in small quantities. Lime, kankar and free kankar are totally absent. These soils are poor in potash, nitrogen, humus and carbonate and differ greatly in consistency, color, depth and fertility. On the uplands they are thin and gravelly, sandy, porous and light coloured alluvium, generally transported from elsewhere, are found along river banks in alternate layers of sand and silt in East Ramanujganj, North Ambikapur, and Surajpur, along the river banks of the Rihand, Kanhar, and the Hasdeo rivers and their major tributaries. The colour of the soil is not uniform but varies from yellow to grey. Laterite soils are well developed on the summits of the plateau regions of Samri and Sitapur tehsil including Shankargargh, Kusmi, Sitapur, Batoli and Mainpat blocks of Mainpat, Jamirapat, Lahsunpat and Jonkpat. They play a main role in development of Chhattisgarh.

In Kashmir, the type of soil found is predominantly red and sandy loam soil. This type of soil is fertile and well-draining, suitable for agriculture and horticulture. The region also has alluvial soil along the river banks, which is rich in nutrients.
The type of soil found in African grasslands is typically nutrient-rich and fertile. It is known as "savanna soil" and is a mix of sand, clay, and other organic materials. This type of soil is well-suited for supporting the diverse vegetation found in African grasslands.
In Albuquerque, NM, the soil type commonly found is sandy loam. This type of soil is well-draining and has a mixture of sand, silt, and clay, which is conducive for growing a variety of plants in the area.
The major soil types found in Tamil Nadu are black soil, red soil, alluvial soil, and laterite soil. Black soil is predominant in the west and southern parts, while red soil is found in central Tamil Nadu. Alluvial soil is present along the river basins, and laterite soil is found in the hilly regions.
