Answer 1

Red soil is formed by the denudation of metamorphic rocks.

Explanation:

Red soil is generated by the weathering and denudation of ancient crystalline and metamorphic rocks under low-rainfall conditions. The intense disintegration of these rocks results in significant concentrations of iron oxides, giving the soil its distinctive red colour and porous, sandy-loamy texture.
