Answer 2

Answer:

The rivers, after

descending from the mountains deposit

pebbles in a narrow belt of about 8 to 16 km

in width lying parallel to the slopes of the

Shiwaliks. It is known as bhabar. All the

streams disappear in this bhabar belt. South

of this belt, the streams and rivers re-emerge

and create a wet, swampy and marshy region

known as terai.
