Why do Himalayan rivers leave fertile soil in the northern plains?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They deposit sediments in the plains

Himalayan rivers carry fine rock particles, silt and soil from the mountains. When their speed decreases on the gentle slope of the northern plains, they deposit these sediments. These deposits form mineral-rich alluvial soil, which is highly fertile for farming. Salt from the sea and volcanic lava do not form this soil. Exam tip: link alluvial soil with sediments carried and deposited by rivers.
