Soil
Concept-1
Soils of India- soil is the top layered structure of the earth surface containing
biological and non- biological elements. It consists silica,
aluminium,sand,silt,clay,calcium, magnesium and many other elements. Humus is
most important and fertile element of soil
1. Alluvial soil
2.Regur soil.
3.Red and yellow soil.
4.Laterite soil
5.Desert soil
6.Hilly soil
7.Peat soil
Causes of soil erosion.
-unscientific methods of cultivations.
Over use of insecticide and pesticides
Deforestation.

IMPORTANCE OF SOILS IN INDIA

Mainstay for agricultural production
Unique resource for millions of people as food shelter and cloth
Base for agro based industries
Used as main material

for houses and constructional activities

Most valuable among all resources of land

Main source for flora and fauna

It is more suitable for cotton production. It is found in mrh , guj,

And karnatak.
Causes of soil erosion :1 over cutting of forests 2 irregular ploughing 3agricultural extention in
Indirect source of balanced eco-system
2.STUDENT SEGMENTDEFINITION OF SOIL-study of soil is called pedology,it is a branch of physical
Geography. Loose particles on the earth surface is called soil which contain
Biological and non biological matters. Humus is main element of soil.
Main features of alluvial soil= It is most fertile. It contains sand, silt,clay and
Other matters in fair ratio. It is found from panjab to w. Bengal including u. p
And Bihar .
Main features of regur soils :- it is black in colour. It is sticky after raining.
It is more suitable for cotton production. It is found in mrh , guj,
And karnatak.
Causes of soil erosion :1 over cutting of forests 2 irregular ploughing 3agricultural extention in
Hilly areas. 4 excess raining for a long time. 5 loose nature ofrocks.
Conservation of soil :- 1 control on forests cutting 2restriction on over grazing
3 contour ploughing 4 dams making 5 bunds around fields.
Evaluation tools :1 Mention importance of soils. 2briefly describe 2 types of
Soil 3 soils are base for economic development in india.
Home work :1- give 2 areas of alluvial soil. 2 -mention 2 uses of black soils.
Shade the one area of laterite soil in the given map of India.
Assignment:- 1. West Bengal 2. Panjab
