Answer 2

Answer:

• Bhangar is the terrace-like feature present above the flood plains of the rivers. It is composed of older alluvium. It is the largest part of the Northern Plain. The soil of this region contains calcerous deposits locally known as kankar.
• The newer, younger deposits of the flood plains are called khadar. This region is very fertile as it gets renewed almost every year. Hence, it is ideal for intensive agriculture.
