Answer 1

Hint:Let us discuss Northern Plains.The plains of Northern India include the lowlands of the three major rivers - the Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra together with their tributaries.Northern plain is fertile region because of many rivers flowing in the region.Relief features ensures rains and hence availability of water.

Complete answer:
 The three major rivers - the Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra together with their tributaries. They occupy one-fifth of the area, but support half the population of South Asia. These plains are the core area of its political, economic and cultural activities.These plains have been formed by the sediments brought down by the rivers Ganga, Yamuna, Ghagra and their tributaries. In the Uttar Pradesh plain, the bhabar and tarai belts are formed. The Ganga Plain of UP merges with the deltaic plain in West Bengal through a transitional zone lying in Jharkhand and Bihar.
 The Aravali Hills are known for watersheds which separates these plains from the Ganga Basin.They have been formed by deposits from the Brahmaputra river and its tributaries which are bordered by high mountains. In some places on the plain hillocks are found. The Brahmaputra Basin is sometimes said to be the continuation of the northern plains towards the east. It is clearly demarcated by the Eastern Himalayas of Arunachal Pradesh in the north, the Garo-Khasi-Jaintia and Mikir Hills in the south, Patkai and Naga Hills in the east and the lower Ganga Plain in the west.
