Detailed explanation-1: -The Khadar soils are much more fertile as they are located almost annually in the low lying areas of the base of a valley that are flooded. As these are located on the upper reaches, approximately 30m above the flood stage, these soils are far less fertile. This is a kind of lowland formed up of old alluvium.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer : (2)-New Alluvial Soil-Also known as the Khadar soil, it has been formed by the deposition of the new Alluvial Soil and is found in the low land. It becomes fertile by the flood water which reaches the region every year. Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal consist of mostly the Khadar soil.
Detailed explanation-3: -Khaddar soils are found In flood plains. In India, Khadar soil is found along the Indo Ganga-Brahmaputra flood plain.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Khadar is composed of newer alluvium and forms the flood plains along the river banks. They are sandy clays and loams, more dry and leached, less calcareous and carbonaceous. The banks are flooded almost every year and a new layer of alluvium is deposited with every flood.
