2. Mountain soil
2.1. Mountain soil are mainly found on the hill slopes. These soils are formed due to mechanical withering caused by snow,rain,temperature variation,etc. These mountain soils are found in hilly regions of Jammu and Kashmir,Sikkim, Assam and Arunachal pradesh. These soils occupy about 8% of the total land area of India.

7. Desert soil
7.1. Most desert soils are called Aridisols (dry soil). However, in really dry regions of the Sahara and Australian outback, the soil orders are called Entisols. Entisols are new soils, like sand dunes, which are too dry for any major soil horizon development.
