Detailed Solution

Alluvial soil is made up of sand, silt, and clay and is classified according to its age and is fertile.
Rivers that are flowing deposit alluvial soil. It is typically generated by combining fine particles of various soils with salt and other minerals and contains entirely decomposed animal and plant waste. Alluvial soils are classified based on their age as well as the size of its grains or components. Alluvial soils are categorised into two types based on their age: old alluvial (Bangar) and new alluvial (Khadar). Because of their great fertility, alluvial soils are constantly cultivated and heavily populated.
