What is new alluvium called in the Northern Plains?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Khadar

The direct answer is C: Khadar. Alluvium is sediment deposited by rivers. In the Northern Plains, newer alluvium deposited during relatively recent floods is called Khadar. It is usually found in lower floodplain areas and is renewed frequently, so it is generally fertile. A, Bhabar, is a narrow gravel belt along the Himalayan foothills where streams often disappear into porous deposits; it is not the name for new alluvium. B, Terai, is the wet belt south of Bhabar, not the soil category itself. D, Bet, is a regional term used for certain riverine or island-like elevated areas and is not the standard name for new alluvium. Therefore C is correct. Memory cue: Khadar means newer floodplain alluvium; Bhangar means older alluvium.
