Black Soil
AnswerB.

Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Basalt releases much calcium and will produce only clay and silt when it weathers to soil. It is one of the most common rocks in the area, so that the black clay soils, uniform texture, coarse structure and grey clay soils which develop on the basalt, or the alluvium from it, are widespread.
