Explanation:
Alluvial soils are widespread in the northern plains and the river valleys. Along with these, they are also present through a narrow corridor in Rajasthan, which extends into the plains of Gujarat. In the Peninsular region, they are found in the deltas of the east coast and in the river valleys. The alluvial soils vary in nature from sandy loam to clay. They are generally rich in potash, but poor in phosphorous.
