Correct answer: D

The Morni Hills, located in the Panchkula district, are the only hill station in Haryana and form part of the Shivalik Range. Because this is a hilly and mountainous region, the soil characteristics differ significantly from the plains of the rest of the state.

  1. Erosion: High rainfall and steep slopes lead to the washing away of finer soil particles, leaving behind larger fragments.

  2. Parent Rock: The soil is formed from the weathering of Himalayan rocks, resulting in a high concentration of pebbles, gravel, and stones.

  3. Texture: The soil is generally thin, light, and lacks organic matter compared to the fertile alluvial soil found in the Ghaggar-Yamuna plains.
