Which belt of the Northern Plains is moist and marshy?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Terai
Terai is the moist and marshy belt of the Northern Plains. In the pebbly Bhabar belt, streams disappear underground; south of it, they re-emerge in the Terai and create marshy conditions. Khadar is the newer alluvial floodplain, so it is not the correct answer here. Exam tip: remember that Terai lies south of Bhabar.
