Q. Where is deep black soil predominantly found in Madhya Pradesh?
Answer: Narmada Valley and Vindhya–Satpura ranges
Notes: Deep black soil occurs mainly in the Narmada Valley and Vindhya–Satpura ranges due to basaltic lava deposits. This soil is fertile, retains moisture, and is ideal for cotton and other crops. Madhya Pradesh has distinct soil regions, and black soil is broadly classified into deep, medium, and shallow types, essential for regional agriculture and geography studies.
