How were the great Plains of Northern Indian formed
Answers
The northern plains of India is said to be the Alluvial plains. Among the three geographical features , which are Deccan plateau, the Himalayas and the northern plains , The northern plains is the youngest one as it is still forming because of these rivers flowing from Himalayas carrying alluvium daily. The oldest feature is the Deccan plateau. When Eurasian plate collided with the Indian plate , the Himalayas mountain range were formed. After it's formation the rivers flowing down the mountainous region started to deposit alluvium on the places of it's course. In the course of time all the rivers have changed there flowing courses and where ever these rivers had flowed deposited huge quantity of alluvium and because of this cumulative phenomenon the Northern plains have formed and it's still forming every day.
The Northern Plain was formed by the deposits brought in by the three major rivers and their tributaries. Alluvium was deposited at the foot–hills of the Himalayas for millions of years. These deposits are now the fertile Northern Plains. Alluvium is soil or sediments deposited by a river or other running water.
