It is evident from the above discussion that there are significant variations among different region of India interim of their geological structure. Variation in physiography and relief is important among these. The geology and geomorphology of Indian river valley plain greatly influenced the physiography of India. The plains are formed by the alluvial deposits brought by the rivers.<\/p>\n

The Brahmaputra river flows from the north-east to south-west direction and enters into Bangladesh. These river valley plains have a fertile alluvial soil cover which supports a variety of crops like wheat, rice, sugarcane and jute, and hence, supports a large population.<\/p>\n

From here it flows first to the south, then to the southeast and east before splitting into its two distributaries namely the Bhagirathi and the Hugli. The river finally discharges itself into the Bay of Bengal forming a large Sunderban delta formed by the mouth ‘ of river Ganga. Otherwise, this is a featureless plain.<\/p>\n
