Social Science — CBSE Class 10 board question

Features of Forest Soils:

1. Texture varies with relief — The soils are loamy and silty on valley sides but coarse-grained on upper slopes. In snow-covered Himalayan areas, they are acidic with low humus content.

1. Fertile in lower valleys — Soils found in the lower parts of valleys, particularly on river terraces and alluvial fans, are fertile.

The question asks for any two features, so pick two distinct points from the textbook paragraph on forest soils. Examiners expect: location/texture variation AND humus/acidity OR fertility of lower valleys. Avoid repeating the same idea in different words. Each feature should be one clear sentence.
