Question

Describe the division of northern plane from west to east

Answer 1

Hey Dear...

Here is Your Answer =)

________________________________________________________

=> The divisions of northern plain on the basis of variations in relief features are as follows:

1. Bhabar: Bhabar is a long narrow plain along the foothills. It is a pebble studded zone of porous beds. It is 8- 16 km wide. Streams are lost in this region due to porous rocks. It is unsuitable for agriculture.

2. Terai: Tarai is a broad long zone south of the Bhabar plain. It is a Marshy damp area covered with thick forests. It is 20 - 30 km wide. Many streams re emerge here from the Bhabar area. It is suitable for agriculture.

3. Khadar: Khadar refers to new alluvium or new soil. It contains fine soil particles. These are renewed every year and hence are very fertile and is ideal for intensive agriculture. It is light in colour.

4. Bhangar: Bhangar refers to Old alluvium or old soil. It contains coarse soil particles. A large part of the northern plains are made up of this type of soil and hence is very fertile. Bhangar soil is dark in colour.
