Question
Why does alluvial soil differ in texture?
Solution
Alluvial soil differs in texture because it has been formed due to erosional, transportation and deposition activities of the Himalayan rivers. While the soil is coarse in the upper reaches of the river valleys, it is fine in the lower course of the river.
