Question

distinguish between bhangar and khadar ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Khadar(New) Bhangar(Old)

1. The khadar soils are found in the low areas of the valley, bottom of a valley which are flooded every year. The Bhangar soils are found in higher reaches, about 30 m above the flood level.

2. These soils are finer in texture. These soils are coarser in texture.

3. The khadar is light in colour and is composed of newer deposits. 3. The bhangar is composed of lime nodules or kanker and has a clayey composition.

Answer 2

The largest part of the northern plain is formed of older alluvial. It lies above the floodplain and presents a terrace like feature. This part is known as bhangra. The soil in this region contains calcareous deposits, locally known as kankar.

The new, young plain which lies below the floodplain is called kadhar. It is renewable and fertile, thus help in agriculture.
