Answer
(i) The Northern Plains of India are one of the most densely populated regions of the world as they are endowed with fertile soil, numerous rivers and favourable climate.
(ii) The Deccan Plateau is an example of a dissected plateau because several seasonal rivers flow across the Deccan plateau.
(iii) The rivers of South India are easier to tap for power than the rivers of north India as the rivers are marked by waterfalls and have less silt as they erode igneous rocks.
