DEFINITION OF LATERITE

A highly weathered red soil rich in iron oxides, aluminum,

and kaolin, and nearly devoid of primary silicates

except for quartz. It is a common residual product of extreme

tropical weathering, developing on many different types of

bedrock. Many third-world populations cut and dry bricks

from laterites, using these for building.
