The soils found in the Himalayas are diverse in character depending upon altitude, vegetation cover, slope, structure and stage. The major soil groups in the Himalayas are brown hill soil, sub-mountain soils, mountain meadow soil and red loamy soils, apart from other less significant types.
The soil is rich because the volcanic tephra released in eruptions is easily weathered by rain. This process breaks down nutrients in the ash and rock delivering it slowly to the plants. The verdant splendor and fertility of many farmlands of the North Island of New Zealand are on volcanic soils of different ages.herefore, towns grow around volcanoes, and use the fertile soil to grow crops and food. The slopes of volcanoes and the surrounding regions are covered with rich, volcanic soil. For example, most of Italy has poor soils with bare limestone rock.
