  • C. Lacustrine Soil
  • D. Aeolian Soil
Correct Answer: Option D - Aeoline soil– It is the soil which (sand dunes) is transported wind. Marine soil– It is the soil which is deposited from sea water transported soil. Loess soil– It is uniformly graded wind blown silt, slightly cemented by calcium compound or montmorillonite. • It is also termed as collapsible soil. Bentonite soil– It is chemically weathered volcanic ash. • It consist of high % of montmorillonite. Black cotton soil– It is a residual soil formed from basalt and have excess of montmorillonite in it. • It is dark in colour and is suitable for growing cotton.
