karewas is formed of which kind deposit (middle mountains)
Answers
Kashmir valley, as we know, is between The Great Himalayas and Pir Panjal ranges. Million of years ago, when the Pir Panjal range was uplifted by tectonic activity, the water of rivers flowing through that area was impounded. Thus, a very large lake was created that covered the whole Kasmir valley. Sediments kept coming in through rivers and kept on depositing in that lake, thus resulting in the formation of a lacustrine plain. Time passed and slowly the water drained away leaving behind deposits viz. unconsolidated gravel and mud. These deposits are what is known as KAREWA.
These have great economic significance as this area is very suitable for cultivation. We get very high quality saffron from here, apples too are of unmatchable quality.
