    Solution

    The Deccan trap, located in the central and western parts of India, is a major region where black soil is found. This soil is typically black due to the high concentration of metallic compounds and minerals, particularly iron compounds, that it contains. Black soil, also known as 'Regur' or 'Cotton Soil', is ideal for growing cotton and is hence named so.
