Write a short note on agriculture in gangatic plains |
| Answer» Farming\xa0on the Indus-Ganga Plain\xa0primarily consists of rice and wheat grown in rotation. Other crops include maize, sugarcane, and cotton. The main source of rainfall is the southwest monsoon which is normally sufficient for general\xa0agriculture.\xa0It\'s\xa0important\xa0because of it\'s the worlds largest alluvial\xa0plain, an area of fertile soil deposited by river floodwaters, it is also India\'s most densely populated area. ... The Brahmaputra River forms a broad delta as it joins the\xa0Ganges\xa0in Bangladesh.\xa0The Indo-Gangetic plain\xa0came into existence by the filling up of the sediments from the Himalaya and partly from the northern Peninsular India, in the foredeep basin in front of the rising Siwalik Ranges. Basin was transformed later into vast\xa0plains\xa0filled by the Quarternary Alluvium\xa0 | |
