$TERAI:

$BHANGAR:
¤The slightly elevated, terraced land of older alluvium—and khadar, the more fertile fresh alluvium on the low-lying floodplain.
¤In general, the ratio ofbhangar areas to those of khadar increases upstream along all major rivers.
$KANKAR:
~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 soils of semi-arid regions.
~It forms sheets across alluvial plains and can occur as this soil.
