Answer:
Northern Plains were formed by the sediments brought in by three major Himalayan rivers (Ganga, Indus and Brahamaputra) and their tributaries. When these rivers flowed through the Himalayas, they eroded rocks, transported and deposited the smaller fragments of rocks in the foothills of the Himalayas.

The Himalayan uplift out of the Thethy's sea and subsidence of the northern flank of the Peninsular plateau resulted in the formation of a large basin. In due course of time, this depression gradually got filled with the deposition of the sediment by the rivers flowing from mountains in the north. A flat land with extensive alluvial deposits by these rivers led to the formation of the Northern Plains of India.
