Soils are classified into three types based on their formation process: sedimentary, residual, and fill. The document categorizes specific soils, identifying weathered granite and laterite as residual soils, glacial till and loess as sedimentary, and constructed levees and highway pavement subgrade as fill. It also notes that alluvium and seabed clays are classified as residual soils, while soils in the riverbed of the Connecticut River are sedimentary.

- 1. Based on formation process, soils are classified into three types: (1) sedimentary soil; (2) residual soil; and (3) fill. Classify the following soils according to the formation process: Weathered granite Glacial till Alluvium Constructed levees of Mississippi River Laterite Seabed clays Soils in the riverbed of Connecticut River Highway pavement subgrade Loess Solution Weathered Granite is a type of residual soil. Glacial till is a sedimentary soil. Alluvium is a residual soil Constructed leeves of mississppi are categoised as Fill Laterite is a Residual soil Seabed clays are residual soils Soils in bed of Connecricut are sedimentary soils. Highway pavement subgrade is a fill Loess are sedimentary soils
