Laterization is a process of accumulation in soil

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Lateralization is the process of the accumulation of iron and aluminium oxides in the soil.
It is also termed tropical weathering and is a prolonged process of chemical weathering that produces a wide variety in the thickness, grade, chemistry, and ore mineralogy of the resulting soils.
Typical laterite is porous and claylike. It contains the iron oxides minerals goethite, HFeO₂; lepidocrocite, FeO(OH); and hematite, Fe₂O₃. It also contains titanium oxides and hydrated oxides of aluminum, the most common and abundant of which is gibbsite, Al₂O₃ · 3H₂O.
