Answer:

Near a river, alluvial soil can be found. Minerals, nutrients, and organic matter abound in alluvial soil, which also contains heavy metals such as gold, ores, and gemstones. Overall, alluvial soil is a rich source of nutrients and a favourable habitat for plant growth. As a result, the soil near the riverbed is particularly suitable for cultivation.

Explanation:

  • Because alluvial soil is found in river basins and is generated when streams and rivers reduce their velocity, it is also known as riverine soil. Alluvial soil is created by the deposition of sediments carried by rivers that originate in the highlands (its origin). When the river overflows, this soil is dumped on the riverbanks.
  • Crops produced in alluvial soil include cereal, sugarcane, pulses, and rice.
