Explanation:
Bhabar is a narrow belt ranging between 8-10 km parallel to the Shiwalik foothills at thebreak-up of the slope. As a result of this, the streams and rivers coming from the mountainsdeposit heavy materials of rocks and boulders, and at times, disappear in this zone. South ofthe Bhabar is the Tarai belt, with an approximate width of 10-20 km where most of thestreams and rivers re-emerge without having any properly demarcated channel, thereby,creating marshy and swampy conditions known as the Tarai.
