Which part of the Northern Plains is considered relatively higher and older?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Bhangar

The direct answer is A: Bhangar, also commonly spelled Bangar in school geography. Bhangar is the older alluvium of the Northern Plains. It was deposited earlier and usually lies on a relatively higher terrace than Khadar. It may contain calcareous concretions called kankar, and it is less regularly renewed by floods. B, Khadar, is newer alluvium, generally found in lower active floodplains. C, Terai, is the wet belt south of Bhabar, not the older higher alluvial surface. D, Dun, is a longitudinal valley between mountain ranges, especially associated with the Himalayan foothills, not the older alluvial division of the plains. Thus A is correct. Memory cue: Bhangar is “before” or older; Khadar is newer floodplain alluvium.
