It is also used in the manufacture of bricks, tiles, and pottery.<\/p>\n<p>Laterite is found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. It is most common in the midlands, which are the areas between the high ranges and the coastal belts. The midlands are typically characterized by a warm, humid climate and a high rainfall. These conditions are ideal for the formation of laterite.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because they are not the most common areas where laterite is found. High ranges are typically too cold and dry for the formation of laterite. Coastal belts are typically too wet and salty for the formation of laterite. River deltas are typically too flat and low-lying for the formation of laterite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join Our Telegram Channel Subscribe on
