Largest Alluvial Plain of the WorldThe Great Plain of North India also known as
Indo-Gangetic-Brahmaputra Plain is the largest alluvial plain of the
world. This arcuate plain extends for a length of 3200 km from the mouth
of the Indus to the mouth of the Ganga. The plain lies partly in
Pakistan and partly in India. The length of the plain in India is around
2400 km. The average width of the plain varies from 150 to 300 km. It is
widest in the west where it stretches for about 500 km. Its width
decreases in the east. It is about 280 km wide near Allahabad and 160 km
near Rajmahal Hills. The plain widens to about 460 km in Bengal but
narrows down in Assam where it is only 60-100 km wide. The plain covers
a total area of 7.8 lakh sq km. The northern boundary of the plain is
well defined by the foothills of the Shiwaliks but its southern boundary
is a wavy irregular line along the northern edge of the Peninsular
India. |
