Answer:
The alluvial soil of the Greater North Indian Plains is well-known. Alluvial soil is fertile and suitable for cultivation. There are five sections to the Greater North Indian Plain. The Bhabar Plains, Tarai Tract, Bhangar Plains, and Khadar Plains are their names.
Khadar | Bhangar |
Khadar soils are located in the valley’s low parts, at the bottom of a river that is inundated every year | Bhangar soil is located in the higher parts of the river, around 30 meters above flood level |
The texture of these soils is finer | The texture of these soils is rougher |
The khadar has a pale color and is made up of younger deposits | The bhangar has a clayey composition and is made up of lime nodules or kanker |
Silt, mud, clay, and sand make up the Khadar land silt | It is made up of impure calcium carbonate nodules known as ‘Kankars’ |
In the Khadar plains, the soil is replenished every year | Because of the large abundance of minerals and carbon in the soil, the soil in this area is highly rich in humus and produces a high yield |
