Explanation:

Alluvial soil in India is most likely found in the Indo-Gangetic plains that stretches across almost all of eastern and northern India. They are named after the two rivers that drain the plain: the Indus and Ganges rivers.Alluvium is typically made up of a variety of materials, including fine particles of silt and clay and larger particles of sand and gravel. When this loose alluvial material is deposited or cemented into a lithological unit, or lithified, it is called an alluvialdeposit.and it is not alkaline in nature.
