Answer:
Since it is extremely fertile, it is one of the most densely populated regions in the world. Favourable climate and adequate water supply has made it agriculturally an extremely productive part of India. Rice and wheat are two main food crops which are mainly cultivated on the Northern Plains.
Answer:
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 adequate water supply and favourable climate it is agriculturally a very productive part of India.
