Bhangar and Khadar

Bhangar and Khadar are two types of alluvial soils found in India. Alluvial soil is formed by the deposition of silt, sand and clay carried by rivers.

Bhangar

- Bhangar is a type of old alluvial soil found in the plains of North India.
- It is formed from the deposits of the Ganges, Yamuna, and their tributaries during the Pleistocene period.
- Bhangar soil is rich in clay, humus, and minerals, making it highly fertile.
- It is well-drained, which makes it suitable for crops like wheat, rice, pulses, and oilseeds.

Khadar

- Khadar is a type of new alluvial soil found in the floodplains of the rivers in North India.
- It is formed from the deposition of silt and clay during floods.
- Khadar soil is rich in organic matter and minerals, making it highly fertile.
- It is water-retentive, which makes it suitable for crops like paddy, sugarcane, and jute.

Western Ghats and Eastern Ghats

The Western Ghats and Eastern Ghats are two mountain ranges in India. They are both important for their ecological and economic significance.

Western Ghats

- The Western Ghats are a mountain range that runs parallel to the western coast of India.
- They are known for their high biodiversity and are home to many endemic species of plants and animals.
- The Western Ghats also act as a barrier to the southwest monsoon, causing heavy rainfall on the western coast of India.
- The Western Ghats are a source of many important rivers like the Godavari, Krishna, and Cauvery.
- The Western Ghats are important for their timber, spices, and medicinal plants.

Eastern Ghats

- The Eastern Ghats are a mountain range that runs parallel to the eastern coast of India.
- They are not as high as the Western Ghats and are less biodiverse.
- The Eastern Ghats are a source of many important rivers like the Mahanadi and Godavari.
- The Eastern Ghats are important for their minerals like iron ore, bauxite, and manganese.
- The Eastern Ghats are also important for their forests, which provide timber and other forest products.
