Detailed Solution

Alluvial soil is more common in piedmont planes.
Alluvial soil is more common in piedmont planes such as Duars, Chos, and Terai. Alluvial is a widely spread and essential soil used to grow crops like sugarcane. Alluvial soil is more common in regions where gentle slopes from mountains reach the flatlands, such as the Duars, Chos, and Terai. River deposits mainly form it, the most fertile soil because of its loamy structure and high humus content. Its light and porous structure make it easy to till. This soil is mainly formed by the three rivers, namely the Brahmaputra, the Indus, and the Ganges, which flow near the Himalayan regions.
