Which region of the Northern Plains is made of older alluvium?
उत्तरी मैदान का कौन – सा क्षेत्र पुराने जलोढ़ से बना है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
भांगर / Bhangar
📘 Explanation
The Northern Plains of India are formed by sediments deposited by rivers flowing from the Himalayas.
-
Bhangar (भांगर) is the older alluvium, lying slightly above the floodplains.
-
It contains kankar (lime) nodules and is less fertile than the newer Khadar deposits.
Other regions:
-
Khadar – new, fertile alluvium found in low-lying floodplains.
-
Bhabar – a narrow belt of coarse sediments at the Himalayan foothills.
-
Terai – marshy area with waterlogged soils formed from Bhabar seepage.
भारत के उत्तरी मैदान हिमालय से बहकर आने वाली जलोढ़ मिट्टी से बने हैं।
-
भांगर पुराने जलोढ़ क्षेत्र को कहते हैं। यह बाढ़ के मैदानों से थोड़ा ऊँचा होता है और इसमें अक्सर कंकर (चूना) के छोटे गोले पाए जाते हैं।
-
यह क्षेत्र खादर के मुकाबले कम उर्वर है।
अन्य क्षेत्र:
-
खादर – नदी के पास नया और उर्वर जलोढ़।
-
भाबर – पहाड़ों के तल में मोटे कणों वाला संकरे क्षेत्र।
-
तराई – पानी से भरा और दलदली क्षेत्र।
