What is the higher part made of older alluvium called in the Northern Plains?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Bhangar

Bhangar is the older alluvial deposit of the Northern Plains. It generally lies on higher terraces above the active floodplains and is not renewed by every annual flood. Because it is older, it may contain calcareous nodules called kankar. Khadar is different: it is newer alluvium found in lower floodplain areas and is more regularly renewed by river deposits.

The question gives two identifying clues: older alluvium and a higher part of the plains. Both point to Bhangar, so option B is correct. Khadar would be correct only for newer alluvium or active floodplain deposits. Terai is a wet marshy belt near the Himalayan foothills, while Bhabar is a porous belt where streams may disappear; neither term means higher older alluvium.
