Answer 2

Answer:

The soil containing calcareous deposits is locally known as Bhangar.

Explanation:

The upland alluvial tract is represented by the Bhangar plains, which are the earliest alluvial plains.

• Because of the significant number of nutrients and humus in the soil, this plains soil produces a high yield.
• It is made up of calcium carbonate nodules called 'Kankars,' which have a clayey composition.

The Khadar plains are the new plains generated by alluvial deposits along the river's course.

• Fresh silt deposits are added to this soil every year, enriching and forming it.
• Silt, mud, clay, and sand make up the khadar terrain.

Gravel and unsorted sediment deposits make up the Bhabar plain.

• This area is unsuitable for farming.
