Give an account of the northen plain of india

Answer 1

Answers

The northern plains have been formed by three major river systems, the Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra. This plain has been formed of alluvial soil.The Northern Plains are divided into three regions. The western part of the Northern Plains is known as the Punjab Plains. The larger part of this plain lies in Pakistan. It is drained by the river Indus and its tributaries- the Ravi, Beas, Satluj, Jhelum and Chenab. The Ganga Plain is spread over the states of Haryana, Delhi, U.P., Bihar and some parts of Jharkhand and West Bengal. Assam is the part of Brahmaputra plains. The Northern Plains presents various relief features. They can be divided into four regions based on the variations in the relief features:

When rivers come down from the mountains, they deposit pebbles in a narrow belt lying parallel to the Shiwaliks. This is called the bhahar belt. All rivers disappear into this belt.

To the south of the belt, the rivers and streams appear again and create the terai region which is wet, swampy and marshy.

The large part of the Northern Plains is formed of the older alluvial soil and presents a terrace like features. This is known as bhangar. It soil consists of granules known as ‘kankar.

The newer deposits are known as ‘khadar’. These are so fertile that intensive cultivation is practiced here.
