How do the rivers of the northern plains make the land fertile?
The rivers carry silt and sediment, which they get from the mountains due to soil erosion. (the rivers flow extremely fast due to a steep slope) Due to less gradient of slope in the N.Plains, the rivers flow more sluggishly and are not able to carry the silt anymore. So, they deposit these minerals on their banks (forming flood plains if they flood) causing the land to become fertile.
