Key Points: Physical Divisions of India> North Indian Plains

  • The North Indian Plains lie between the Himalayas and the Peninsular Plateau, from Rajasthan to Assam.
  • They were formed by alluvial deposits from the Indus, Ganga, and Brahmaputra rivers.
  • These plains are flat, low-lying, and suitable for farming and settlements.
  • They cover one-fifth of India’s area but support nearly half of the population.
  • The plains are divided into Rajasthan, Punjab–Haryana, the Ganga Plains, and the Brahmaputra Plains.
  • The Punjab–Haryana and Ganga Plains are fertile, irrigated, and densely populated.
  • The Brahmaputra Plains are marshy and include Majuli Island; the Sunderbans Delta is the world’s largest.
