    Solution

    Red soils derive their color from the presence of iron oxide. These soils are predominant in regions of low rainfall and are commonly found in peninsular India. Red soil supports the cultivation of crops such as wheat, cotton, and tobacco and is especially suitable for dry farming due to its texture and drainage properties.
