Why are well-developed soils found mostly in low latitudes?

The well developed and most fertilized soils are found in low latitude because of the river water and high moisturized land in the lower altitude. The reason for the well-developed soil in low latitude is because:


• River water


The soil erodes through the river water and clean and fertilized soil is washed to the banks of the river from the top of the mountains.


• High moisture


The low-level landscape will have high moisture than the high-level elevated landscape. Therefore it makes the soil more fertile in the low-level altitudes.
