Answers
here is your answer
1. Bhabar (Hindi and Nepali: भाबर, Bhābar) is a region south of the Lower Himalayas and the Shiwalik Hills. It is the alluvial apron of sediments washed down from the Siwaliks along the northern edge of the Indo-Gangetic Plain.
2. The Terai (Nepali: तराई, tarāī) is a belt of marshy grasslands, savannas, and forests located south of the outer foothills of theHimalaya, the Siwalik Hills, and north of the Indo-Gangetic Plain of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and their tributaries. ... It has borders with only India.
3. Bhangar soil is older alluvial soil. Large parts of the North Indian Plains are formed of bhangar soil. The soil presents a terrace-like feature. Khadar soil is new or younger deposits of alluvium soil on the floodplains. This soil is renewed every year and thus is comparatively more fertile than bhangar soil.
4. Kankar or kunkur is a sedimentological term derived from Hindi, occasionally applied in India and the United States to detrital or residual rolled, often nodular calcium carbonate formed in soilsof semi-arid regions.
5. Khadar soil consists of new alluvial soil deposits and is often very fertile. Bangar soil consists of older alluvialsoil. Khadar plain is usually lowland area whereas bhangar plain is usually an upland area.

1️⃣Bhabar is a region south of the Lower Himalayas/Shiwalik Hills. It is the alluvial apron of sediments washed down from the Shiwaliks along the edge of the Indo-Gangetic Plain.
2️⃣Terai is a lowland region in southern Nepal and northern India that lies south of the outer foothills of the Himalayas, the Shiwalik Hills, and north of the Indo-Gangetic Plain.
3️⃣The alluvial soil found in the large part of North India is called Bhangar. This is an old soil which is alluvial in nature and is above the flood levels of the rivers in the region. It is often seen in the structure of a terrace.
4️⃣Kankar is a detrital or residual rolled, often nodular calcium carbonate formed in soils of semi-arid regions.
5️⃣In the plains, the younger deposits are known as Khadar. They are more fertile than the Bhangar soils. These soils are very good for intensive cultivation.
