Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Alluvial soil is formed from the sediments deposited by the rivers in Indo-Gangetic plains and by sea waves in the coastal plains. It is very fertile and hence, excellent for agriculture. This soil is found extensively in the northern plains and other river valleys in India.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Northern Plains are formed by the alluvial deposits laid down by the rivers Yamuna, Ganga, Brahmaputra and their tributaries.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ganga-Brahmaputra is a river basin. As a result, it gets flooded every now and then. Therefore the bulk of the soil present in the basin region will be alluvial soil.
