Sandy soils "handle" rain better than clay soils, because the water tends to soak into the sand whereas it does not penetrate the clay so easilly and therefore runs away into the rivers.
Sandy soil tends to dry out quickly after a rain shower due to its large particle size and poor water retention capacity. The porous nature of sandy soil allows water to drain away more rapidly compared to other soil types like clay or loam.
The type of soil found in Uttrakhand is mountain soil . Mountain soil is generally pale yellow or brown in colour .This soil is formed due to the breaking of mountain rocks ,by rain ,wind ,ice, and plant roots
Soil erosion caused by rain occurs when rainfall hits the soil surface with enough force to dislodge and transport soil particles. This process is exacerbated by factors such as steep slopes, lack of vegetation, and soil compaction, which reduce the soil's ability to absorb and resist the impact of raindrops. Over time, repeated episodes of rain erosion can lead to significant loss of topsoil and degradation of soil quality.
When rain hits the ground, it can either infiltrate into the soil, flow over the ground as surface runoff, or evaporate back into the atmosphere. The fate of the rainwater depends on factors such as the soil type, slope of the ground, and the amount of rainfall.
Clay soils are more prone to waterlogging and flooding after heavy rain due to their small particle size and poor drainage characteristics. The fine particles in clay soil can compact together, making it difficult for water to percolate through the soil, leading to waterlogging and flooding.
humus soil
black soil
rain
mud, gushy mud or soft soil.
sand
generally nutrient poor
25 degrese farinhite
maple
soil turns the rain into mud puddles and what soil does to the snow it makes the soil turn brown
storms with lightning and heavy rain that washes away soil
very poor condition and cant hold nutrients
because rain has acid in it it makes the soil have acid in it
