Question

11. Identify the parts of the Ganga-Brahmaputra
basin that are being described in the statements
given below.
a) This part of the basin has marshy land covered
with mangrove forests.​

Answer 1

The basin area has a varied topography. As a result, the distribution of the population is not even everywhere in the area. The mountain areas with steep slopes have inhospitable terrain. Therefore less number of people live in the mountain area of the Ganga-Brahmaputra basin. The plain area provides the most suitable land for human habitation. Therefore, the density of the population of the plains is very high.
