The acid sulfate soils formed in this way contain basic ferric sulfate compounds such as jarosite KFe 3 (SO 4 ) 2 (OH) 6, and are yellow like cat droppings, so they are also called cat clays. Various soil types belonging to the Vertisol order exist in the microdepressions of areas of basic rocks and calcareous rocks in the tropics and subtropics. ...
