5. Give an account of the Northern Plains of India.
Answers
Answer:
The Northern Indian Plains have been formed due to the depositional activities of the Himalayan Rivers. This is one of the most fertile plains in the world. The plain spread over an area of 7 lakh square km. The Northern Plains are 2400 km long and about 240-320 km broad.
Answer:
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 tributaries. 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 very productive part of India.
