The narrow belt parallel to the Shiwalik foothills where streams deposit heavy materials like rocks and boulders is known as Bhabar.

Bhabar is characterized by porous and stony soil, and streams disappear underground in this region due to infiltration through the coarse deposits.

South of the Bhabar belt is the Tarai belt, a wet, marshy, and densely forested region where the streams re-emerge. Further south lie the alluvial plains, divided into Bhangar (older alluvium) and Khadar (newer alluvium).
