Detailed explanation-1: -Bhabar is the gently-sloping coarse alluvial zone below the Sivalik Hills (outermost foothills of the Himalayas) where streams disappear into permeable sediments.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bhabar: After descending from the mountains, the rivers deposit pebbles in a slim belt.It accommodates pebble-studded rocks within the form of porous beds. Due to the porosity of the rocks, the streams disappear and waft underground.
Detailed explanation-3: -The rivers disappear in the belt of the northern plains.
Detailed explanation-4: -Bhabar is a narrow belt of about 8 to 16 km in width lying parallel to the slopes of the Shiwaliks in Uttarakhand state of India. This belt is formed as a result of the deposition of pebbles by the rivers descending from the mountains in the North.
Detailed explanation-5: -Losing streams are common in arid areas due to the climate which results in huge amounts of water evaporating from the river generally towards the mouth. Losing streams are also common in regions of karst topography where the streamwater may be completely captured by a cavern system, becoming a subterranean river.
