which of the following statements is false regarding laterite soils?
they are rich in organic matter.
they are the main source of al.
they are red from high fe - content.
they are found in tropical regions.

Explanation:

Laterite soils are formed in tropical regions through intense weathering. They are rich in iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al) oxides. The red color comes from high Fe - content. Bauxite, a major source of Al, is often associated with laterite. However, laterite soils are poor in organic matter due to high temperatures and heavy rainfall which lead to rapid decomposition and leaching of organic material.

Answer:

They are rich in organic matter.
