What to Focus On

  • Pedogenesis is the process of soil formation.
  • Soil is a renewable natural resource.

  • Soil erosion removes fertile topsoil.
  • Running water is a major cause of erosion.
  • Wind erosion affects dry and open areas.

  • Soil conservation protects fertility and prevents erosion.
  • Afforestation is one of the best conservation measures.
  • Contour ploughing and terraced farming reduce runoff.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Alluvial soil is the same as residual soil because both are found in large areas of India.

Khadar and Bhangar are just two names for the same alluvial soil.

Black soil is called black cotton soil because it is black only in colour, not because of crops.

Memory Tips
