Piedmont, in geology, landform created at the foot of a mountain (Italian: ai piede della montagne) or mountains by debris deposited by shifting streams. Such an alluvial region in a humid climate is known as a piedmont for the Piedmont district of Italy; in arid climates such a feature is called a bajada (q.v.).

Answer 2

Khadar & Bangar

Explanation:

• In alluvial soil, we can find varying composition of clay, silt & sand levels . The soil particles appear slightly larger as we move inland to the river valleys. The soils are  coarse on the upper reaches of the valley, i.e. close to the location of the slope break. In Piedmont plains like the , Chos,Terai, & Duars such soils are quite common.
• Soils are often defined based on their age, in addition to the size of their  components/grains. Alluvial soils, in accordance to their age, can be classified as old alluvial (Bangar) & new alluvial (Khadar) soils
