Answers
Answer:
here you go : Punjab Plain, large alluvial plain in northwestern India. It has an area of about 38,300 square miles (99,200 square km) and covers the states of Punjab and Haryana and the union territory of Delhi, except for the Shahdara zone. It is bounded by the Siwalik (Shiwalik) Range to the north, the Yamuna River to the east, the arid zone of Rajasthan state to the south, and the Ravi and Sutlej rivers to the northwest and southwest, respectively.
The geologic origin of the plain is Paleogene and Neogene (i.e., between about 65 and 2.6 million years ago)—except in the extreme south—its surface having been built up by the silting action of meandering streams. The plain is slightly undulating, sloping from 2,140 feet (650 metres) in the northeast to 700 feet (200 metres) in the southeast. The Ravi, Beas, Sutlej, and Yamuna are perennial rivers. Subtropical thorn forests grow in the southeast, and subtropical dry deciduous forests are found in the submontane region in the north.

Answer:
The Punjab Plain is a large alluvial plain in Eastern Pakistan and Northwestern India. The plain includes the Pakistani province of Punjab and the Indian states of Punjab and Haryana and is around 38,300 square miles (99,000 km2) in area. This plain is around 200–300 meters high. The plain is extensively farmed for cereals and cotton.[1]
The plain is the western part of the North Indian River Plain in Pakistan and Western India formed by the Indus River and its tributaries - Jhelum, the Chenab, the Ravi, the Beas and the Sutlej. The larger part of Punjab plain lies in Pakistan.
The land formed of alluvium in between two rivers known as Doab are found here.
Bhangar : The flood plains formed due to deposition of older alluvium is known as Bhangar.
Bet : The flood plains seen here which are formed due to repeated deposition of new alluvium during each flood is known as Bet.
