Answer 2

Bhabar region

It is a  Narrow belt of Northern Plains  covered with pebbles  lies along the foothills of Shiwaliks  from Indus to Teesta .

The vast Northern plains also have diverse relief features. Accordingly they are divided into 4 regions –

1. The rivers, after descending from the mountains deposit pebbles in a narrow belt of about 8 to 16km in width lying parallel to south of Shiwaliks known as ‘Bhabar’. All streams disappear in this belt.
2. South of Bhabar belt, the streams and rivers re-emerge & create a wet, swampy, marshy region known as ‘Terai.’  It was thickly forested region, full of wild life. But now, the forests have been cleared to create agricultural land& to settle immigrants from Pakistan after partition.
3. The largest part of the northern plain is formed of older alluvium. They lie above the flood plains of rivers and present a terrace like feature known as Bhangar. The soil in this region contains calcareous deposits locally known as ‘kankar.’
4. The newer, younger deposits of Alluvial-soil on these flood plains are called Khadar. Soil is fertile & ideal for Intensive Agriculture.
