Answer 2

The Correct Solution is Khadar.

• Kankar refers to the calcareous deposits found in the northern plains.
• The northern plains include a wide range of relief features.
• The Northern Plains can be divided into four regions based on the variances in several of these relief features.
• The rivers drop pebbles in a small zone after descending from the highlands. This belt runs parallel to the Shivalik's incline and is called bhabar.
• In this bhabar belt, all streams disappear.
• Streams and rivers re-emerge south of this belt, resulting in a damp, swampy, and marshy environment. Terai is the name given to it.
• The older variety of alluvium makes up the majority of this northern plain. It is situated above the river's floodplains and has the appearance of a terrace. Bhangar is the name for it.
• The soil in these types of areas is rich in calcareous deposits. Kankar is the local term for them.
• Khadar refers to the flood plains' fresher and younger deposits.
• Between the Himalayas and India's peninsular plateau is the northern plain. Three separate river systems, the Sutlej, Ganga, and the Brahmaputra, have contributed to its formation. As a result, the northern plains are known as deposited plains.
