Question

Name three states of the Northern Plains with high population densities.

Answer 1

Hint: The states of the Northern Plains with the highest population densities are also the most populous states of the country. One of the states shares its border with Bangladesh in the east.

Complete answer: The youngest physiographic feature in India or the Northern Plains. The river Indus, river Ganga, and river Brahmaputra, along with tributaries forms the Northern Plains.
In simple terms, the measurement of population per unit area or the number of people living in an area per square kilometer is known as Population density. India is the second-most populous country in the world, with an estimated population of 1.2 billion, as per the census of 2011.
The population density in the Indian states is determined by the land, soil, and rainfall. The three states of the Northern Plains with high population densities have fertile soil, flat plains, and required or adequate rainfall that leads to enhancement of agriculture. The states are Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal.
1. Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state of our country. Around 200 million people live in this northern state. The population density of the state is recorded as 829 people for every square km.
2. The eastern state of India, Bihar is the third largest state by population in India. The population density of the state is recorded at 1102 people for every square km.
3. With 91 million inhabitants, West Bengal is the fourth largest state by population. The population density of the state is recorded at 1029 people for every square km.

Note: The plains are also the largest alluvial tract of the world. From west to east, it extends around 3200 kilometers. The Northern Plains lie to the south of the Shivalik and the Himalayan Frontal Fault separates it.
