Detailed Solution

The answer is alluvial soil. Alluvial soil, or alluvium, is a result of sediments deposited by rivers. In India, the Himalayan rivers erode the mountains as they flow down the slopes. These sediments are deposited as the rivers slow down near their drainage point. As the east-flowing rivers travel longer distances, these sediments turn into fine grains and are deposited as alluvium. The Ganga-Brahmaputra delta is the best example of an alluvial soil plain formed by the action of Brahmaputra, Indus, and Ganges. The porous nature and the fine texture make the soil suitable for agriculture. The rivers continuously replenish the soil, retaining its fertility. The abundant water reserves and the fertile soil make the plains densely populated.
