It is responsible for the red, yellow, and brown colors of many soils. The amount of iron oxide in a soil can vary depending on the type of soil and the climate. Soils that are high in iron oxide are often called &#8220;red clay&#8221; or &#8220;red earth&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Option a) Black is incorrect because black soil is typically rich in organic matter.
