Indies, the Granga and the Brahmaputra along
with their tributaries.
This plain is formed of alluvial soil.
• It spreads over an area
.
of 7 lakh sq. km.
The plain being about 2400 km long and 240 to 320 km
broad, is a densely populated physiographic
division.
• In the lower course, due to gentle slope, the velocity
of the river decreases, which results in the
formation of riverine islands.
Division of Northon plains
The Northern plains
