Accepted Answer

Northern Plain's Area is roughly 7 lakh sq. km. in size. It is 2400 Km long and 240 to 320 Km broad. The Northern Plains spreading from Assam to Punjab has a length of around 2400 km and the width ranges between 150 km to 300 km, varying in different regions. It can be found in Bihar, Punjab, Assam, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, parts of Delhi and Haryana.

Question 2

India's plain land area is about _____________.

Accepted Answer

India has land under a variety of relief features, namely; mountains, plateaus, plains and islands. About 43 percent of the land area is plain, which provides facilities for agriculture and industry. Mountains account for 30 percent of the total surface area of the country. About  27 percent of the area of the country is the plateau region.

Question 4

Describe Northern plains of India. Into how many parts they are divided?

Accepted Answer

The Northern plain was formed due to the Himalayan upliftment out of the Tethys sea and subsidence of the Northern flank of the Peninsular plateau which resulted in the formation of a large basin. In course of time, this depression gradually got filled with deposition of sediments from rivers flowing from the mountains in the North and led to formation of the fertile Northern plains.They spread over an area of 7 lakh sq km. The plains are about 2400 km long and 230-240 km broad. It is a densely populated and an intensively cultivated area.With its adequate water supply and favourable climate, it is agriculturally a very productive part of India.The Northern plains are broadly divided into three parts which are as follows(i) The Western part of the Northern plains is called the Punjab plain, formed by the Indus and its tributaries.(ii) The Ganga plain extends between the Ghaggar and the Teesta rivers, spread over the states of Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal.(iii) The Brahmaputra plain lies to the East of the Ganga plains. It covers the areas of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.

Question 5

The ______ spreads over an area of 7 lakh sq. km.

Accepted Answer

The Northern Plains 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.

Question 6

Explain any five properties of the northern plains of India.

Accepted Answer

Properties are:(i) The northern plains have been formed from the alluvium deposited by the mountain rivers.(ii) They are located between the Himalayan rivers in the north and the Peninsular Plateau in the south.(iii) They turned the soil on the surfaced land fertile for growing a rich harvest of variety of crops. This led to the development of the Indus Valley Civilization.(iv) They are made up of deposits of alluvium and cover an area of 7 lakh sq. km.(v) They are densely populated physiographic division of India and are believed to be highly productive in terms of agriculture.

Question 7

Write short notes on Characteristics of the Northern Plain.

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

Doab is made up of _____________.

Accepted Answer

Doab is made up of two words-'do' meaning two and 'ab' meaning water.Doab is the area lying between two rivers flowing in the same direction.Doab refers to the riverine island where two rivers meet. Doab is a term used in India and Pakistan for the "tongue," or tract of land lying between two converging, or confluent, rivers.

Question 9

The _______ is agriculturally a very productive part of India.

Accepted Answer

The Northern Plain was formed by
the interplay of the three major river systems, namely– the Indus, the Ganga
and the Brahmaputra along with their tributaries. It is composed of alluvial
soil which has been deposited over millions of years. It is about 2400 km long and
about 240 to 320 km broad. With a rich soil cover combined with adequate water
supply and favorable climate.  It is agriculturally a very productive part of
India.

Question 10

Which physiological division has been formed by the interplay of the three major river systems?

Accepted Answer

The Northern Plain:

1.      
Formed by the interplay of the three major river
systems, namely– the Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra along with their
tributaries

2.      
Composed of alluvial soil which has been
deposited over millions of years, about 2400 km long and about 240 to 320 km
broad.

3.      
With a rich soil cover combined with adequate
water supply and favourable climate it is agriculturally a very productive part
of India

4.      
Divided into three sections, viz. the Punjab
Plain, the Ganga Plain and the Brahmaputra Plain.
