Answer 1

Answer:

Answer 2

Answer:

India may be divided broadly into five physical units -The Great Mountains of the north; The north Indian plain; The Peninsular Plateau; The coastal plains; The Islands.

• The Indus-Ganga belt is the world's most extensive expanse of uninterrupted alluvium formed by the deposition of silt by the numerous rivers.
• The plains are flat and mostly treeless, making it conducive for irrigation through canals. The area is also rich in ground water sources.
