The newest and fertile alluvial soil in the Northern Plains is known by what name?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Khadar

The direct answer is B: Khadar. In geography, alluvium means material such as silt, sand and clay deposited by rivers. Khadar is the newer alluvium of the Northern Plains. It lies closer to active floodplains and may be renewed by later floods, which generally makes it more fertile. A, Bhangar, is older alluvium, often lying on a relatively higher terrace, so it is the opposite of the description. C, Bhabar, is a coarse, porous foothill belt, not a name for new alluvial soil. D, Terai, is a wet, marshy belt south of Bhabar; it is a physiographic region, not the term for the newest alluvium. Hence B is correct. Memory cue: “Khadar = current/new flood deposits”; do not confuse it with older Bhangar.
