Answer:
(i)
Bhabar: The rivers after descending from the mountains deposit pebbles in a
narrow belt lying parallel to the slopes of the Shiwaliks. This is known as
bhabar.
(ii) Terai: To the south of Bhabar
belt, the rivers and stream re-emerge and create a wet, swampy and marshy
region known as the Terai. This was a thickly forested area but was later on
cleared for cultivation.
(iii) Bhangar: The largest part of
the northern plain is formed of older alluvium. They lie above the flood plains
of the rivers and present a terrace-like feature. The soil in this region
contains kankar modules in them. This part is known as bhangar.
(iv) Khadar: The newer younger
deposits of the floodplains are called khadar. They are renewed almost every year
and are therefore fertile. They are ideal for cultivation.
