Question

1. Write short notes on
a.
Alluvial soil
b. Side Valleys
C.
Plateau of Ladakh​

Answer 1

Answer:

Alluvial soil is the main and important soil that spreads across the river plains. They are formed by deposition of materials or sediments (alluvium) brought in down by rivers that consist of silt, sand, clay, etc. ... Alluvial soil which is found in the deltas of river is called deltaic alluvium (coastal alluvium

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

[A]    Types of Soil in India – Alluvial soil

The alluvial soil occurs mainly in the Satluj- Ganga- Brahmaputra Plains. They are also found in the valleys of the Narmada, Tapi and in the Eastern and Western coastal plains. These soils are mainly derived from the debris brown from the Himalayas. This soil is well-drained and poorly drained with an immature profile in undulating areas. This soil has potash deficiency. The colour of soil varies from light grey to ash. This soil is suited for Rice, maize, wheat, sugarcane, oilseeds etc.

This soil is divided into

Khadar Soil (New): the khaddar soils are enriched with fresh silts. They are low lying, frequently inundated by floods during the rainy season. It occupies the flood plains of rivers. The khaddar tracts called as kankar are rich in concentration.

Bhangar Soil (Old): This soil lies above the flood level. It is well-drained but because of the calcium carbonate nodules. The texture of soil varies from the loamy soil to clayey soil.

[B]  A valley shoulder appears at the place where the tributary flowed into the river before the glacial period. The side valley loses its height and develops into a hanging valley. In permeable rock like limestone) a side-valley becomes a gorge. In granite or other crystalline areas a waterfall may result.

[C]  Ladakh is the highest plateau in India with much of it being over 3,000 m (9,800 ft). It extends from the Himalayan to the Kunlun Ranges and includes the upper Indus River valley.
