Zonal Soil : It is that soil which has the mineral properties similar to that of

the parent rocks. It is clear that this coil is of the same region where it has got


weathered. For example – red soils, black soils, laterite soils, desert soils etc.


Azonal Soil : It is that soil which has been developed by the process of
deposition by the agents of erosion. It means that it has been made by the
fine rocky particles transported from far-off regions. For example- alluvial
and loess soils.

Intra-Zonal Soils : It the rock of a region is affected by chemical
weathering and mainly dissolution like process occurs, there develops the
intra-zonal soil. For example, limestone soil, rendzena, terrarosa etc.
