Question
Give an account of the distinct land features of the Great Plains.
Solution
The Great plains extend alongwith the Himalayas. Great plains are of the recent origin less than two million years old. These plains contain a number of physical features. Along the northern margins are the piedmont plains composed of coarse pebbles mixed with finer pervious detritus. They are known as the Bhabar in Punjab and Duars in Assam. South of piedmont plains is a marshy tract known as Tarai. The older alluvium is known as Bhangar and newer is known as the Khadar in Uttar Pradesh. There are two big depressions in Bihar known as Jala near Patna and Tal near Mokamah.
