Question: Percentage of runoff under Vertisols and Alfisols is ________ respectively
Options:
60, 40
30, 20
20, 70
90, 10
✅ EXPLANATION: Vertisols and Alfisols are two types of soil found in dryland areas. Vertisols are known for their high clay content, which makes them prone to cracking and swelling. Alfisols are known for their moderate clay content and high organic matter content. Runoff is the amount of water that flows over the land surface after falling as rain or snow. It is a major factor in soil erosion. Vertisols have a higher percentage of runoff than Alfisols. This is because Vertisols are more prone to cracking, which creates channels for water flow. Alfisols, on the other hand, have a more compact structure, which makes them less prone to cracking.
