25. Read the sources given below and answer the questions that follow.
The northern plain has been formed by the interplay of the three major river
systems, namely - the Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra along with
their trbutaries. This plain is formed of alluvial soil. The deposition of
alluvium in a vast basin lying at the foothills of the Himalaya over millions
of years, formed this fertile plain. It spreads over an area of 7 lakh sq. km.
The plain being about 2400 km long and 240 to 320 km broad, is a densely
populated physiographic division. With a rich soil cover combined with
adequate water supply and favourable climate it is agriculturally a
productive part of India.
The Northern Plain is broadly divided into three sections. The Western part
of the Northern Plain is referred to as the Punjab Plains. Formed by the
Indus and its tributaries, the larger part of this plain lies in Pakistan. The
Indus and its tributaries -- the Jhelum, the Chenab, the Ravi, the Beas and
the Sutlej originate in the Himalaya. This section of the plain is dominated
by the doabs
The Ganga plain extends between Ghaggar and Teesta rivers. It is spread
over the states of North India, Haryana, Delhi, U.P., Bihar, partly Jharkhand
and West Bengal to its East, particularly in Assam lies the Brahmaputra
plain
The northern plains are generally described as flat land with no variations in
its relief. It is not true. These vast plains also have diverse relief features.
According to the variations in relief features, the Northern plains can be
divided into four regions. The rivers, after descending from the mountains
deposit pebbles in a narrow belt of about 8 to 16 km in width lying parallel
to the slopes of the Shiwaliks. It is known as bhabar. All the streams
disappear in this bhabar belt. South of this belt, the streams and rivers re-
emerge and create a wet, swampy and marshy region known as Teral. This
was a thickly forested region full of wildlife. The forests have been cleared
to create agricultural land and to settle migrants from Pakistan after
partition
