Hey Buddy,

The term "residual soil" refers to soil that has not been moved from its original location and is the product of rock weathering and decomposition. The geological processes involved in the production of these soils are weathering (caused by climatic factors) and leaching of water-soluble components in the rock. The majority of the time, sedimentary rocks like shale, sandstone, and limestone are precursor materials or byproducts of leftover soils. Igneous rocks include basalt and granite. Lateritic soils and black cotton soil are more residual soil examples.

It is typically found in tropical settings with high rainfall and temperatures that are characterised by rock bedding as its source.

To oversimplify the residual soil definition, I would like to say that above its parent rock, residual dirt persists. It typically develops as a result of chemical or physical weathering and ultimately covers the source rock. The type of parent rock affects the features of residual soil. Due to the minerals from many transported rocks, they are particularly fertile.

Clay soil forms when the weathering process is prolonged and/or the bedrock is less weathering resistant. Shale, a soft rock, can weather into a very plastic clay. The soil may contain some unweathered rock fragments of sand and gravel sizes if the bedrock is more weather resistant. Colluvium, the term for residual soil moved by gravity, can include much larger boulder- to cobble-sized particles moved by landslides. When the weight of the overburden soil that forms as a result of weathering exceeds the shear strength of the residual soil and begins to move down the slope, this occurs on slopes.

I would like to conclude here about what is residual soil and residual soil examples. I hope this helps:)
