  • The Northern Plains present various relief features. They can be divided into four regions based on the variations in relief features:
    • When rivers come down from the mountains, they deposit pebbles in a narrow belt lying parallel to the Siwaliks. This is called the Bhabar belt. All rivers disappear into this belt.
    • To the south of the belt, the rivers and streams appear again and create the Terai region which is wet, swampy and marshy. It was once a thickly forested region. But the forests have been cleared to expand agricultural lands.
    • A large part of the Northern Plains is formed of the older alluvial soil and presents a terrace-like feature. This is known as bhangar. Its soil consists of granules known as ‘kankar’.
    • The newer deposits are known as ‘khadar’. These are so fertile that intensive cultivation is practised here.
The Northern Indian Plains experience temperate climate. Punjab and Gangetic Plains are extremely hot during summers and extremely cold during winters.
