उत्तर

Laterite soil is mainly found in the summits of the Western Ghats.

Explanation:

Laterite soil formed on the Western Ghats' high-altitude peaks as a result of extensive tropical weathering and monsoon rains. This heavy rain causes leaching, which removes soluble minerals such as lime and silica, leaving behind an infertile, acidic soil rich in iron and aluminium oxides.
