Expert Answer:

In the Northern Indian Plains, alluvial soil has been formed due to the erosional, transportational and depositional activities of the Three HImalayan rivers. This soil is very fertile.
In the Deccan Plateau, the Black soil has been formed due to the weathering of lava and cooling of lava after a volcanic eruption. This soil is suitable for growing cotton.
