Bhabar:
After descending from the mountains, the rivers deposit pebbles in a narrow belt.
The width of this belt is about 8 to 16 kms.
It lies parallel to the Shiwaliks.
Bhabhar is the gently-sloping coarse alluvial zone below the Siwalik Hills (outermost foothills of Himalayas) where streams disappear into permeable sediments. The underground water level is deep in this region.
2. Terai:
The terai region lies towards south of the bhabar belt.
In this region, the streams reappear and make a wet, swampy and marshy region.
This region was full of forest and wildlife but after partition all this area was cleared and was converted into agricultural land for the settlement of the migrants.
3. Bhangar:
Bhangar is the largest part of the northern plain and is composed of the oldest alluvial soil.
They lie above the flood plains. They resemble terraces.
The soil of this region is locally known as kankar and is composed of calcareous deposits.
