It is a narrow strip, about 6\u20138 km wide, formed by the deposition of coarse materials such as <strong>boulders, gravels, pebbles, and sand<\/strong> carried by Himalayan rivers. Its width is greater in the west and decreases eastward. Due to highly porous deposits, streams disappear underground, making the region generally unsuitable for agriculture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Terai Plain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Terai<\/strong> lies immediately south of the <strong>Bhabar region<\/strong> and forms a broad belt about <strong>15\u201330 km wide<\/strong>. Rivers that disappear in the Bhabar re-emerge here, creating <strong>marshy<\/strong> and <strong>waterlogged conditions<\/strong>. The region is characterized by <strong>poor drainage<\/strong>, <strong>dense forests<\/strong>, <strong>swamps<\/strong>, and rich <strong>biodiversity<\/strong>. Its soils are rich in <strong>nitrogen<\/strong>, <strong>humus<\/strong>, and <strong>organic matter<\/strong>, making them highly fertile for crops such as <strong>rice<\/strong>, <strong>sugarcane<\/strong>, and <strong>wheat<\/strong>, while also supporting wildlife like <strong>tigers<\/strong>, <strong>elephants<\/strong>, and <strong>one-horned rhinoceroses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bhangar Plain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bhangar<\/strong> refers to the <strong>older alluvial deposits<\/strong> found on <strong>elevated terraces<\/strong> above the active floodplains and beyond the reach of annual floods. Since these deposits are not regularly renewed, they are older than <strong>Khadar<\/strong>. Bhangar soils often contain <strong>Kankar<\/strong> (calcium carbonate nodules) and may develop saline patches called <strong>Reh<\/strong>, <strong>Kallar<\/strong>, or <strong>Thur<\/strong>. Other notable features include <strong>Bhur<\/strong> deposits in the Ganga\u2013Yamuna Doab and the <strong>Barind Tract<\/strong> of West Bengal. The soils are generally <strong>dark, clayey, and rich in organic matter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Khadar Plain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Khadar<\/strong> consists of <strong>newer alluvial deposits<\/strong> laid down annually by rivers during floods and is found in the <strong>active floodplains<\/strong> along river banks. Due to continuous renewal, Khadar soils are <strong>extremely fertile<\/strong> and highly suitable for agriculture, making the region one of India&#8217;s most productive farming areas. Major crops include <strong>rice, wheat, sugarcane, jute, pulses, and vegetables<\/strong>. In Punjab, these floodplains are known as <strong>Bet Lands (Bets)<\/strong> and also support <strong>wetlands, grasslands, and diverse wildlife habitats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Delta Plain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Delta Plain<\/strong> is the <strong>lowermost extension of the Khadar region<\/strong> near river mouths, formed by the deposition of <strong>fine sediments<\/strong> where rivers enter seas or oceans. It consists of <strong>old and new mud, marshes, tidal flats, and distributary channels<\/strong>. In deltaic areas, elevated landforms are called <strong>Chars<\/strong>, while low-lying marshy depressions are known as <strong>Bils<\/strong>. The <strong>Ganga\u2013Brahmaputra (Sundarbans) Delta<\/strong>, the world&#8217;s largest delta, is highly fertile and supports <strong>intensive agriculture, fisheries, and dense human settlements<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_354813\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-354813\" class=\"wp-image-354813\" src=\"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/uppsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Physiographic-division-of-Northern-plains-300x200.png\" alt=\"Physiographic Division of the Northern Plain\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/uppsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Physiographic-division-of-Northern-plains-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/uppsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Physiographic-division-of-Northern-plains-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/uppsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Physiographic-division-of-Northern-plains-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/uppsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Physiographic-division-of-Northern-plains.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-354813\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Created by ForumIAS<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong><a id=\"t2\"><\/a>Regional Division of the Northern Plains<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Based on <strong>geographical characteristics, climatic conditions, drainage patterns, and regional variations<\/strong>, the Northern Plains are divided into the following major regions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Rajasthan Plain<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Punjab\u2013Haryana Plain<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Ganga Plain<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Brahmaputra Plain<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Rajasthan Plain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Rajasthan Plain<\/strong> is an <strong>undulating plain<\/strong> with an average elevation of about <strong>325 metres<\/strong>, largely occupied by the <strong>Thar Desert (Great Indian Desert)<\/strong>. It has developed mainly through the depositional activities of the <strong>Indus River System<\/strong> and its ancient tributaries. The presence of <strong>gneiss, granite, and crystalline rocks<\/strong> reflects its connection with the <strong>Peninsular Plateau<\/strong>. The <strong>Bagar Region<\/strong> forms a semi-arid transition zone between the Thar Desert and the <strong>Aravalli Range<\/strong>. The region is drained by seasonal streams, while the <strong>Luni River<\/strong> flows southwestward into the <strong>Rann of Kutch<\/strong>. <strong>Sand dunes, wind action, and sparse vegetation<\/strong> are its characteristic features.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Punjab\u2013Haryana Plain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Punjab\u2013Haryana Plain<\/strong> has been formed by the depositional activities of the <strong>Indus River System<\/strong>. Punjab, meaning <strong>&#8220;Land of Five Rivers&#8221;<\/strong>\u2014<strong>Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej<\/strong> &#8211; is characterized by numerous <strong>Doabs<\/strong>, or tracts of land between two rivers. The plain is bounded by the <strong>Shivalik Range<\/strong>, <strong>Yamuna River<\/strong>, and <strong>Thar Desert<\/strong>, while the <strong>Delhi Ridge<\/strong> separates it from the Ganga Plain. Saline patches called <strong>Reh<\/strong> or <strong>Kallar<\/strong> occur in drier areas. Owing to <strong>fertile alluvial soils<\/strong>, extensive irrigation, and the <strong>Green Revolution<\/strong>, it has become one of India&#8217;s most productive agricultural regions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Ganga Plain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Ganga Plain<\/strong> is the <strong>largest subdivision of the Northern Plains<\/strong>, extending about <strong>1,400 km<\/strong> from west to east with an average width of nearly <strong>300 km<\/strong>. It stretches from the <strong>Yamuna Basin<\/strong> in the west to the <strong>Bangladesh border<\/strong> in the east. The plain has been formed by the <strong>alluvial deposits<\/strong> of the <strong>Ganga and its tributaries<\/strong>, along with contributions from Peninsular rivers such as the <strong>Chambal, Betwa, Ken, and Son<\/strong>. Owing to its <strong>fertile soils<\/strong> and <strong>abundant water resources<\/strong>, it is among the world&#8217;s most productive agricultural regions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Upper Ganga Plain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Upper Ganga Plain<\/strong> comprises the <strong>Ganga\u2013Yamuna Doab<\/strong>, <strong>Rohilkhand<\/strong>, <strong>Awadh<\/strong>, and parts of the <strong>Agra Division<\/strong>. The region has a general slope towards the <strong>east and south-east<\/strong> and is characterized by <strong>fertile alluvial soils<\/strong> and extensive <strong>irrigation facilities<\/strong>. It witnessed significant success during the <strong>Green Revolution<\/strong>, particularly in <strong>western Uttar Pradesh<\/strong>. As a result, it has become a highly productive agricultural region, with <strong>wheat, sugarcane, rice, and oilseeds<\/strong> being the principal crops.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Middle Ganga Plain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Middle Ganga Plain<\/strong> covers <strong>Central and Eastern Uttar Pradesh<\/strong> and extends into <strong>Northern Bihar<\/strong> up to <strong>Muzaffarpur<\/strong>. It is characterized by <strong>thick alluvial deposits<\/strong> and a relatively lower occurrence of <strong>Kankar<\/strong>. Due to the region&#8217;s <strong>gentle gradient<\/strong>, rivers frequently <strong>meander<\/strong> and change their courses. The <strong>Kosi River<\/strong>, known as the <strong>&#8220;Sorrow of Bihar,&#8221;<\/strong> is particularly famous for its channel shifting and destructive floods. Prominent geomorphic features include <strong>floodplains, oxbow lakes, and wetlands<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Lower Ganga Plain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Lower Ganga Plain<\/strong> extends from <strong>Patna to the Bay of Bengal<\/strong>. In this region, the <strong>Ganga River<\/strong> turns southward before entering the sea. The plain is highly prone to <strong>seasonal flooding<\/strong> and is rich in <strong>Khadar (new alluvial deposits)<\/strong>, which enhance soil fertility. Major economic activities include <strong>rice cultivation<\/strong>, <strong>jute farming<\/strong>, <strong>aquaculture<\/strong>, and <strong>inland fisheries<\/strong>.
