Expert Answer
- The Northern Plains present various relief features. They can be divided into four regions based on the variations in relief features:
- When rivers come down from the mountains, they deposit pebbles in a narrow belt lying parallel to the Siwaliks. This is called the Bhabar belt. All rivers disappear into this belt.
- To the south of the belt, the rivers and streams appear again and create the Terai region which is wet, swampy and marshy. It was once a thickly forested region. But the forests have been cleared to expand agricultural lands.
- A large part of the Northern Plains is formed of the older alluvial soil and presents a terrace-like feature. This is known as bhangar. Its soil consists of granules known as ‘kankar’.
- The newer deposits are known as ‘khadar’. These are so fertile that intensive cultivation is practised here.
