The type of soil formed under conditions of heavy rainfall and high temperature through the process of laterisation is called

Laterite is formed through laterisation, a weathering process that occurs under high temperatures and heavy rainfall typical of tropical regions. Silica and other soluble minerals are leached away, leaving behind iron and aluminium oxides that give the soil a reddish colour and hard crust. Chernozem is a rich grassland soil, podsol forms under cool coniferous forests, and alluvial soil is deposited by rivers.
