Question

Write short notes on Characteristics of the Northern Plain.

Answer 1

• The North Indian Plains are consistently level plains of highly fertile and deep alluvial soil which increases in thickness from west to east.
  
• They have a mild climate and a very gentle slope. The rivers flow slowly and form floodplains. Hence the soil is very fertile.
  
• Because of high fertility, this region is agriculturally very important for the country.
  
• The region is characterized by good infrastructure and economic development. So the density of population is very high in the region.
