The Indo-Gangetic Plain, also known as theIndus-Ganga Plain and the North Indian River Plain, is a 255 million-hectare (630 million-acre) fertile plain encompassing most of northern and eastern India, the eastern parts of Pakistan and virtually all of Bangladesh.[1]The region is named after the Indus and theGanges rivers and encompasses a number of large urban areas. The plain is bound on the north by the Himalayas, which feed its numerous rivers and are the source of the fertile alluvium deposited across the region by the two river systems. The southern edge of the plain is marked by the Chota Nagpur Plateau. On the west rises the Iranian Plateau

The Northern Plain is lies to the southern Himalayas. In fact, it is bounded by the Himalayas on the north and the Deccan plateau on the south and from Punjab in the west to Assam in the east. It is called the Gangetic plain. The plain is about 2400km from east to west and 200 to 400km from north to south. It covers an area of about 580000 sq.km.

The great northern plain formed by the deposits brought in by the three majors and their tributaries such as
The IndusThe GangaThe Brahmaputra
The geographical suggest that there were a shallow trough and geosyncline in between the Himalayas and the Deccan plateau during the recent geological period of the formation of the Himalayas.
The sediments and debris brought down by the rivers after the upliftment of the Himalayas. After that, it began to accumulate there to form the vast alluvial plain of northern India.
Alluvium deposited on the foot-hills of the Himalayas for millions of years
Alluvium is the soil and sediments, which shall filed by the river or other running water. Aluminum is made up of the materials, like fine particles of sit and clay and larger particles of sand and gravel.
The indo-genetic plains are the most extensive and expanse of uninterrupted alluvium. The plains are flat and mostly are treeless. It makes the conducive to the plain for irrigation through canals.
