Explanation:

The south of Tarai is a belt consisting of old and new alluvial deposits, known as the Bhangar and Khadar, respectively.
These plains have characteristic features of mature stage of fluvial erosional and depositional landforms.

Note: Bhangar is the old alluvium deposit found in the northern plains. On the other hand, Bhabar is a narrow belt covered with pebbles, lying along the foot of the Shiwaliks.
