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) A number of glaciers descend from the Himadri such as the Gangotri and the Yamunotri. They lie in Uttarakhand. These glaciers are the perennial source of water for fast-flowing rivers Ganga, Yamuna and their tribuataries. This create ideal conditions for adventure sports like river rafting.
