Which type of soil is mainly found in the piedmont plains such as Duars, Chos and Terai?
Alluvial soil
The correct answer is Alluvial soil.
Bhangar: Older alluvial plain terraces, away from the current floodplains. Soil is calcareous and less fertile than Khadar. Khadar: Newer alluvial deposits on the floodplains, renewed every year by floods, making it very fertile. The question specifically mentions Duars, Chos, and Terai, which fall under the Bhabar (Chos) and Terai/Duars belts, where the soil is primarily alluvial, transitioning from coarse in Bhabar/Chos to finer in Terai/Duars.
