Historically, laterite was cut into brick-like shapes and used in monument building.

It favours white sandy soils, often overlying laterite, clay or quartzite.

For example, the red color of many sand deserts is a result of the occurrence of laterite.

- A red soil produced by rock decay; contains insoluble deposits of ferric and aluminum oxides
- Laterites are soil types rich in iron and aluminium, formed in hot and wet tropical areas. Nearly all laterites are rusty-red because of iron oxides. They develop by intensive and long-lasting weathering of the underlying parent rock. ...
- A red hard or gravel-like soil or subsoil formed in the tropics that has been leached of soluble minerals leaving insoluble iron and aluminium oxides and hydroxides; used to make bricks and roads
- Substance used in fresh water plant tanks to supply nutrients, either a powder placed under the gravel or chunks mixed in the gravel bed.
- (geology): A hardpan (cf. ferricrete, calcrete) formed by the precipitation of iron oxides in the fluctuation zone of the watertable.
- Is a planting soil that is rich in nutrients and minerals that is used for freshwater aquarium plants.
- An iron rich deep weathering profile. Lateritised means containing laterite.
- A surface layer, up to 100m thick, produced when water-soluble elements and silica are progressively removed from rocks by the weathering process, leaving residual material rich in the less mobile elements. ...
- A strongly leached iron and aluminium rich rock, formed at the surface by weathering in tropical conditions.
