Explanation:

The northern plains are the granaries of the country. They provide the base for early civilizations. They

are one of the most recent landforms. 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 an

adequate water supply and favorable climate, it is agriculturally a productive part of India.
