Answer 1

Bhabar: 
   
It lies to the south of Shiwalik range. The width ranges between 8 to 16 km. The area is highly coarse in nature due to
many pebbles and 'kankars' found over here. Vegetation found here is very less. Main feature is that river disappears in the Bhabar region because big pores are present in it.
   
Terai: The belt exist to the south of Bhabar area. It is almost parallel to the Bhabar. The area has got highly fine sediments due to the deposition made by several streams. Very dense vegetation is found in Terai region. Since the river re-emerges back in this region,
the area becomes highly swampy and marshy.
