Question
Give one difference between the following:
Alluvial soil of Uttarakhand and alluvial soil of West Bengal.
Distinguish Between
Solution
| Alluvial soil of Uttarakhand | Alluvial soil of West Bengal |
| Uttarakhand's alluvial soil is younger and less productive since it is located nearer the mountains, where rivers deposit coarser minerals. | Because rivers carry the alluvial soil farther and more slowly, it has aged, broken down more thoroughly, become finer, and is hence more fruitful in West Bengal. |
