The Northern Plains of India: Let’s decode the geography between the Himalayas and the River Valley - through 5 key zones. 1. Bhabar 2. Terai 3. Bhangar 4. Khadar 5. River Valley 1. Bhabar Narrow belt of coarse pebbles at the foothills of the Himalayas Rivers disappear here due to high porosity Poor agriculture due to rocky soil — 2. Terai Lies south of Bhabar Marshy and swampy region Rivers re-emerge and make it waterlogged Fertile and supports dense forests/agriculture — 3. Bhangar Older alluvium, found above flood plains Contains calcareous deposits (kankar) Less fertile than Khadar Reddish-brown in color — 4. Khadar Newer alluvium deposited by annual floods Found in river valleys Highly fertile and ideal for intensive agriculture — 5. River Valley Formed by major rivers like Ganga, Yamuna Flat, extensive plains Cradle of Indian civilization and agriculture — Summary: From rocky slopes to rich farmlands—this transition zone shapes the northern Indian landscape and economy.
