Explanation:
Which is the most fertile part of the river of Northern plain.
Bhabar, bhangar, khadar and terai are the geological divisions of alluvial soils.
Bhabar: It is found in the foothills of Shivaliks. It is 8 to 16 kms wide. It comprises of pebble studded rocks and hence no rivers. It is not suitable for agriculture.
Bhangar: It covers large parts of northern plains. It is composed of old alluvial soil. It contains calcareous deposits locally known as 'Kankar'. Soil is not very fertile.
Khadar: Ii is also present in northern plains like that of Bhangar. It contains new alluvium. Used extensively for agriculture.
Terai: It is composed of comparatively finer alluvium and is covered by forests. It has underground streams and makes the area marshy. Suitable for agriculture.
The Bhabar Plains
- The Bhabar plains is located to the south of Shiwalik from Jammu to Assam.
- The breadth or width of bhabar plains is more in the western region as compared to the eastern region.
- The bhabar tract comprises of gravel and un-assorted sediment deposits.
- This sediment present in soil is deposited by rivers descending from the Himalayan mountains.
- This region is not good for cultivation.
- The area is popular with big trees with large roots.
The Tarai tract
- The Tarai tract is situated south to the Bhabar tract.
- The track is a marshy tract with malarial climate.
- The width of Tarai tract is more in the eastern region.
- This Tarai tract receives high rainfall and has excessive humidity, due thick forest and rich flora and fauna.
- Recently the Tarai tract in Haryana, Punjab, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh has been cleared for cultivation because it is rich in humus and organic matter.
- It is suitable for the cultivation of Wheat, rice, maize, sugarcane etc.
The Bhangar Plains
- These are older alluvial plain which represents upland alluvial tract.
- These areas are well-drained and make it suitable for cultivation.
- This area lies quiet above the flood limits of the neighbouring rivers.
- The soil is rich in humus and it gives a high yield due to rich amount of minerals and humus in the soil.
- It comprises of calcium carbonate nodules called ‘Kankars’ which are impure in nature.
The Khadar Plains
- The new plains formed due to alluvial deposit along the course of the river.
- Enriched and formed by fresh deposits of silt every year.
- The Khadar land silt comprises of silt, mud, clay, and sand.
- The Khadar lands are suitable for the cultivation of sugarcane, rice, wheat, maize and oilseeds.
