Study Notes

Alluvial Terraces

Alluvial terraces are step-like landforms formed by sediment deposition along rivers
They appear when rivers shift or lower their course,
Leaving behind elevated, flat surfaces separated by steep slopes
These surfaces represent former riverbeds, altered by tectonic activity or changing water levels

Importance of a Doab

A Doab is a fertile land area between converging rivers
Characterized by alluvial soil, deposition from both rivers
Suitable for agriculture, typically due to the fertile soil and consistent water supply
Notable examples in Pakistan include the Sind and Bist Doabs, crucial for crop cultivation

Cross-Section of a Doab

Doab's cross-section shows a gently sloping flat land area situated between two rivers, with steep elevated banks on either side
The central part typically consists of alluvial deposits, creating fertile soil
Drainage features like small channels, streams, or irrigation canals distribute water across the land
The land slopes towards the river channels, with occasional terraces at higher elevations along the riverbanks.
