With reference to the different types of soil found in India, identify the pairs which is/are wrongly matched. 1. Submontane soil - These are formed by the deposition of eroded material and are found in the Tarai region stretching from Jammu and Kashmir to Assam. 2. Karewa soil - These are the lacustrine deposits found in the Kashmir valleys and Bhadarwah Valley. 3. Peaty and Marshy soil - These are typical soils of the monsoon climate characterised by seasonal rainfall and is deficient in organic matter. 4. Laterite soil - These soils are rich in humus and organic matter. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is Option 4 . Key Points Submontane soil It is formed by the deposition of eroded material from the Shiwaliks and the lesser Himalayas. It is found in the Tarai region of the submontane stretching from Jammu and Kashmir to Assam. Hence, Pair 1 is correctly matched. Karewa soil It is a lacustrine deposit found in the Kashmir valleys and Bhadarwah Valley. Hence, Pair 2 is correctly matched. These deposits are made up of sand, silt, shale, mud, and lignite. Karewa soils are important for agricultural and horticultural practices. They are suitable for growing saffron, almonds, walnuts, and apples. Peaty and Marshy Soils These soils are found in regions of heavy rainfall and high humidity, and they support the good growth of vegetation. Peaty soils are rich in humus and organic matter. Hence, Pair 3 is not correctly matched. These soils are generally heavy and black. In many places, these soils are alkaline. Laterite soil It is generally low in fertility and organic matter, including humus. They are often leached of essential nutrients due to heavy rainfall and have a low capacity to retain organic matter. Hence, Pair 4 is not correctly matched. This soil is very useful for growing tea and coffee: Laterite soils are suitable for growing tea and coffee. The laterite soil develops in areas with high temperatures and heavy rainfall. Laterite soils are primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions with high temperatures and heavy rainfall.
