Marl Soil: It is fine grained calcium carbonated soil of marine origin & is formed due to decomposition of bone of animals and plants.
Tuff soil: A fine grained slightly cemented volcanic ash, it consist of high percentage of montmorillonite due to which it exhibit high shrinkage & swelling properties.
Laterite Soil: It is formed due to leaching of silica, alumina & ferric oxide, which is generally found in hilly areas or in humid climate.

Loam Soil: It is the mixture if sand, silt and clay.
Gumbo Soil: It is black sticky slightly plastic soil.
Black cotton soil: It is residual soil formed from basalt & have excess amount of montmorillonite.
Varved Clay: Contains alternate layer of silt & clay.
Moor um Soil : It is graveled mixed with red clay.
Underrated Soil: The soil which becomes hard due to moderate to high temperature & pressure.
