The soils of the Indian sub-continent are as diverse as the region's geography and climate. From the alluvial plains of the Indus and Ganges rivers, where fertile soils support a rich agricultural heritage, to the lateritic soils of the Deccan Plateau, a product of intense weathering. The black cotton soils of the semi-arid regions are known for their high clay content and moisture retention. The mountainous regions of the Himalayas and the Western Ghats showcase a variety of soil types, influenced by altitude, rainfall, and vegetation. The coastal areas feature sandy soils, while the forests boast nutrient-rich soils that sustain an array of flora and fauna. This soil diversity has played a pivotal role in shaping the sub-continent's agricultural practices, ecosystems, and cultural landscapes.
