Question

difference between the northern lowlands and the indo gangetic plain.

Answer 1

The Indo-Gangetic Plain, also known as the Indus-Ganga Plain and the North Indian River Plain, is a 255 million-hectare (630 million-acre) fertile plain encompassing most of northern and eastern India, the eastern parts of Pakistan, virtually all of Bangladesh and southern plains of Nepal.[1] In India, the plains extend from Gujarat, Rajasthan and Punjab on the west to West Bengalon the east.[2] The region is named after the Indus and the Ganges rivers and encompasses a number of large urban areas. The plain is bound on the north by the Himalayas, which feed its numerous rivers and are the source of the fertile alluvium deposited across the region by the two river systems. The southern edge of the plain is marked by the Chota Nagpur Plateau. On the west rises the Iranian Plateau.

The Guanacaste and Central Volcanic mountain ranges give way to the northeast to rolling plains that rarely rise above a few hundred feet.  The Frío, San Carlos, Toro and Sarapiquí rivers snake north across the lowlands overflowing their banks to form seasonal lakes and wetlands.  Each eventually joins the Río San Juan at Costa Rica’s border with Nicaragua.  The San Juan, Chirripó and Tortuguero feed almost 300,000 acres of swamps and canals called llanuras along the Caribbean coast.
