- #4Alluvial Soils are also called ‘Riverine Soils’. Why?Ans : The chief region of Alluvial Soils in India is the
Indo-Gangetic plain, where Alluvial Soils have been deposited mostly by rivers.

eastern coast has also been deposited by river- channels. Therefore, Alluvial
Soils are rightly called Riverine Soils.
