The document discusses the Northern Fertile Plain of India, located between the Himalayas and Deccan Plateau. It stretches from Punjab to Assam over 2400 km. The plain has very fertile alluvial soil containing large amounts of humus, which is beneficial for agriculture. However, soil erosion from water and wind is a problem, as it can damage crops and cause holes in the earth. Conservation methods like contour ploughing and terrace farming can help reduce erosion by slowing water flow down slopes. Reforestation is also encouraged to protect the soil quality of the Northern Fertile Plain.

Introduction to the Northern Fertile Plain
- 1. TOPIC :
- 2. INTRODUCTION TO NORTHREN FERTILE PLAIN The Northern Fertile Plain lies to the south of Himalayan Region. It is also called the Gangetic Plain. It is a vast plain and level land between the Himalayas in the North and Deccan Plateau in the South. FromPunjab in theWest to Assam in the East, this plain is about 2400 km.
- 4. TYPES OF SOIL NORTHREN FERTILE PLAIN ARE THE MOST FERTILE AREAS .THE SOIL CONTAIN LARGE AMMOUNTHUMUS. NORTHREN PLAIN CONTAIN FINE SOIL PARTICLE WHICH IMPROVES THE FERTILITY OF SOIL AND IT IS KNOWN AS ALLUVIUM SOIL
- 6. SOIL EROSIN Soil erosion is the washing or blowing away (by wind or water) of the top layer of soil (dirt). This is a serious problem for people who want to grow crops. Crops are the foods that farmers grow. If the soil has eroded, the crops will notgrow very well. Soil erosion was a big problem in the Midwestern United States in the 1930s dust bowl. Erosion also leaves large holes in the earth, which can weaken buildings and even cause them to collapse
