    The document describes the different geological regions of northern India. It notes that streams and rivers emerging from the Himalayas deposit coarse materials like boulders in the Bhabar region. Further south, the Terai region sees the reemergence of rivers without clear channels, making it marshy. Alluvial deposits from rivers accumulate in the plains, forming areas like the IGB Plain and creating features such as meanders and oxbow lakes.
