Answer:
The Northern Plains are formed of alluvial soil. The deposition of alluvium in a vast basin lying at the foothills of the Himalayas over millions of years, formed this fertile plain.
This plain is a densely populated physio graphic division. The soil cover is rich and have adequate water supply. The climate is also favorable for agriculture. These features make this plain suitable for agriculture.

Answer:
Plains in many areas are important for agriculture because where the soils were deposited as sediments they may be deep and fertile, and the flatness facilitates mechanization of crop production; or because they support grasslands which provide good grazing for livestock.

Plains are more suitable to agriculture than plateaus because they are low, flat lands that have deep, fertile soil. A plain is an area of flat land that actually covers around one-third of the Earth's land. They can be formed in various ways from erosion, the movement of rivers, and volcanic activity. You can find plains between valleys, on top of plateaus, and in lowlands. Because the vegetation for plains is mostly grass and shrubs, the soil is fertile and can grow crops very well.
Plateaus are high, flat lands. The elevation affects the climate of plateaus and keeps them from successfully growing crops. You can find plateaus between mountains, by the sea, between the sea and mountains, or created from volcanic activity. With the cold, bleak climate, it can be very difficult for anything to live on high plateaus. Some of the lower plateaus have conditions just right that animals can graze off of the grasses growing there. Plains and plateaus may be similar, but due to the type of soil and low, flat land you find in the plains, they are more conducive to agriculture.
