En las regiones ecuatoriales y húmedas, el agua tibia y algo ácida altera los feldespatos y libera la alúmina y los óxidos de hierro, que permanecen en la capa superficial, en tanto que la sílice y los óxidos alcalinos son arrastrados por las aguas infiltradas. Se forma así una tierra roja, suelta y fértil, la ferralita. 3, record 1, Spanish, - ferralita
