Question

Give two important characteristics of a bhabar belt.

Answer 1

1. Pebble-studded Terrain: The Bhabar belt is characterized by the deposition of pebbles and coarse materials by rivers descending from the mountains, making the land less suitable for agriculture.
2. High Porosity: The region has a porous structure, causing the rivers to disappear underground after flowing through it. This makes the area dry and unsuitable for permanent settlement or cultivation.
