- 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 .
- After million of years , the accumulation of sediments led to the formation of the Indian Northern Plains .
- The Himalayan uplift out of the tetchy sea and the subsidence of the northern flank of the peninsular plateau resulted in formation of a large basin .
- In due course of time this depression got largely filled with deposition of sediments by the rivers flowing from the mountains in the north and the peninsular plateau in the south .
- A flat land of extensive alluvial deposits led to the formation of the northern plains of India .
