Write the differences between Residual and Transported soils.
| Sno. | Residual Soils | Transported Soils |
| 1 | Residual soils are those soils that remains at the place of their formation as a result of the weathering of the parent rocks. | The weathered pieces of rocks that have been carried by several agencies like wind and water and finally breaks into further small pieces to settle down is called transported soil. |
| 2 | It doesnot involve movements of Soil particles. | It involves the transportation of soil particles from one place to another place. |
| 3 | It is generally formed by static process.i.e,weathering process. | It is generally formed by dynamic process.i.e, weathering followed by transportation. |
| 4 | The depth of residual soils depends primarily on the climatic condition and time of exposure. The depth is not generally considerable. | Many of t.... |
