A number of laterite cappings have been demarcated over the Deccan Trap basaltic rocks in parts of Medak and Nizamabad districts of Andhra Pradesh. Favourable lithology of traps and a geomorphic surface with almost gentle unidirectional slope from south to north appear to have strongly influenced the lateritisation process in the area that resulted in thick lateritic cappings.

Abstract


A number of laterite cappings have been demarcated over the Deccan Trap basaltic rocks in parts of Medak and Nizamabad districts of Andhra Pradesh. Favourable lithology of traps and a geomorphic surface with almost gentle unidirectional slope from south to north appear to have strongly influenced the lateritisation process in the area that resulted in thick lateritic cappings.
