Q179
Geography (incl. West Bengal)Soils, Natural Vegetation & Forests
Khadar soil is found in
  1. a.Flood plain.
  2. b.Foot hill.
  3. c.Piedmont plain.
  4. d.All of the above

Answer: (A) Flood plain.

Khadar is the new alluvium deposited every year by floods on river flood plains, and is fine and fertile. Older alluvium on higher ground is bhangar, while the foothill and piedmont zones have bhabar and terai deposits, so ‘All of the above’ is wrong.
