Give an account of the Northern Plains of India.
The northern plains have been formed from the alluvium where mountain rivers have been deposited. This turned the soil into fertile surfaced land for growing a rich harvest of variety of crop which led to the development of the Indus river valley civilisation. The rich soil was further assisted by favourable climate and constant water supply from these rivers. Between the mouths of the Indus and the ganga, Brahmaputra; the north Indian plain covers the distance of 3200km. It is 300 to 150 km wide at some places. The north Indian plains contains the Indus river system in the west and the ganga Brahmaputra river system in the east. Firstly it includes Jhelum, Chenab, ravi, beas, satluj. The Indus flows into the Arabian sea; the second includes ganga, it's tributaries and the Brahmaputra that combines as meghna as they drains into the bay of Bengal. They form the world's largest and fastest growing delta. The difference in relief has led the north Indian plains to be divided into four zones:
(i) Bhabhar,
(ii) Tarai,
(iii) Bangar and,
(iv) Khaddar.
