Detailed explanation-2: -There are two different types of alluvial soils developed in upper and middle ganga plains. They are Khadar and Bhangar. Khadar is the new alluvium and is deposited by floods annually, which enriches the soil by depositing fine silts. Bhangar represents a system of older alluvium, deposited away from the flood plains.
