the main cause of these indo- gangetic plains were the himalayas. when the himalayas were formed, caertain big glaciers on it started to melt due to the hotness in the indian subcontinent. due to this, rivers like ganges and some others wre formed. himalayas constitute of very high peaks. it took lot of time for this stream of ganges to come down to the plains and so it could take a lot of dust and silt with it. when this ganges river came to the plains, it went crossing some orth and eastern states of India. these deposists of silts and dust continued till thousands of years and this is how the indo- gangetic plains were formed.
