Which of the following physiographic divisions of India has extensive alluvial soil ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The North Indian Plain.
- Large stretches of alluvial soil, created by the deposition of silt, clay, and sand carried by rivers like the Ganges, Yamuna, and Brahmaputra, are what make the North Indian Plain famous.
- Rice, wheat, and sugarcane can all be grown in this nutrient-rich, fertile soil, which is perfect for agriculture.
- The area is among India's most agriculturally productive due to the rivers' constant deposition of alluvium over millennia.
