Question

Briefly describe the three plains which together form the northern plains​

Answer 1

The northern plains are formed by the alluvial deposits brought by the rivers – the Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra. ... From the north to the south, these can be divided into three major zones: the Bhabar, the Tarai and the alluvial plains.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Northern Plain is located in the southern part of the Himalayan range. The plain is formed from the flood plains of three big river systems:

The Indus,

The Ganga and

The Brahmaputra

The Northern Plain is also called the Indo-Gangetic plain. The soil cover in this plain is rich and fertile, and water is found in plenty, combined with a favourable climate for growing several major crops, the Northern Plain is one of the world’s most intensively farmed areas and hence very densely populated.

The rivers coming from the northern mountain carry a huge load of eroded soil and debris. As a river flows down towards the plains, due to the gentler slopes, its velocity decreases, and the material carried by it gets deposited on the way creating riverine islands.

The Northern Plain can be divided into three main parts:

The Indus and its tributaries – the Jhelum, the Chenab, the Ravi, the Beas and the Sutlej - originate in the Himalaya. This part of the Northern Plain is also called the Punjab Plain.

The Ganga Plain lies between the Ghaggar and the Teesta rivers.

The Brahmaputra Plain lies in the state of Assam.

The Northern Plains which are also known as Indo-Gangetic Plains.

Punjab Plains or Indus Plains, plains where Indus and it's tributaries flow, i.e. Punjab & parts of Gujarat, Jammu & Kashmir in India, and Punjab, Khyber-Pakhtunwa, Sindh in Pakistan.

Ganga Plains, plains where ganga and it's tributaries flow, i.e. Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, & parts of Uttrakhand in India, and parts of Nepal & Bangladesh.

Brahmaputra Plains, Plains where Brahmaputra and it's tributaries flow i.e. Arunachal Pradesh, Assam in India, parts of Bhutan, Bangladesh.
