• Bhangar is composed of lime nodules which are also called kanker. It has a clayey composition. The khadar is light in colour and consists of newer deposits. Khadar soil is more fertile than Bhangar as it gets replenished by new layers of soil every year during monsoon floods.
• The eastern ghats run parallel to the eastern coastal plains of India. Unlike the western ghats, they are discontinuous in nature and is dissected by the rivers that drain into the Bay of Bengal. As discussed above, most of these rivers have their origin in the western ghats.
