Laterization is a weathering process where minerals such as iron and aluminum oxides are leached from rocks in tropical regions, leaving behind a layer of iron-rich soil known as laterite. This type of soil is often low in nutrients, making it challenging for plant growth. Laterization can lead to the formation of distinct landscapes called laterite formations.

What is different Podzolization and Laterization in soil science?

Podzolization is a soil formation process where clay minerals are leached to deeper soil layers, resulting in a lighter-colored, acidic soil with distinct layers (horizons). Laterization is a weathering process in tropical regions where intense rainfall leads to leaching of nutrients and formation of a hard, iron-rich subsurface layer (laterite). Both processes are influenced by climate and vegetation, resulting in unique soil characteristics.


What is laterisation?

laterisation or laterization is the process in which a laterite is formed. A laterite is an ore deposit as a result of intense weathering in humid, warm, tropical type locations around the world. It is usually rich in clay (kaolinite) and Iron and Aluminum oxides/oxyhydroxides. (Robb, L. 2005)
