Physiographic feature of Bangladesh : 

Physiographic feature of Bangladesh Bangladesh is a low level and vast plainty area. Its Physiographic feature of is much diversified. It is mentionable here that the Physiographic feature of an area may change in pace of time due to natural and artificial causes.

Slide 7: 

Similar to that the Physiographic feature of Bangladesh gets a changed. The provident of this speech can be found if we look at the river channel. Whenever we find a desert area now a days once upon a time it was sea or ocean and vice versa

Elements of physiographic : 

Elements of physiographic A physiographic unit is a land part having particular characteristics regarding height, gradient, undulation, soil texture, mode of origin etc.

Physiographic division of Bangladesh : 

Physiographic division of Bangladesh On the basis of its physical characteristics, Bangladesh can be divided in to seven Physiographic divisions. These are;

Slide 10: 

1. Tertiary Hills 2. Pleistocene Terraces 3. Piedmont Alluvial Plains 4. Coastal Plain 5. Tidal Plain 6. Deltaic Plain and 7. Flood Plain

Tertiary Hills : 

Tertiary Hills Actually this part of Bangladesh is so different from the rest of the country. This area contains with tangled hills and valleys, spring lakes mountainous ridges and plenty of forests.

Tertiary Hills :

. Pleistocene Terraces : 

. Pleistocene Terraces It includes the Barind uplands. The Modhupur and Lalmai uplands of Comilla are the best example of Pleistocene terrace area. The main characteristics of this area are comparatively high elevation and reddish lateric soils.

Piedmont Alluvial Plains : 

Piedmont Alluvial Plains This type of soil is specially found at the foot of Himalayan Ranges. The alluvial deposit is mostly sandy silt. A small stretches are seen in the northern parts of Sherpur and Netrokona districts.

Piedmont Alluvial Plains : 

Piedmont Alluvial Plains

Coastal Plain : 

Coastal Plain This region is found in the coastal belt area of our country i.e. southern part and mouth of Bay of Bengal. This plain is composed of saline clays and most of it is affected by tides. Due to salinity of soil it is not favor for cultivation.

Coastal Plain : 

Coastal Plain

Tidal Plain : 

Tidal Plain The southern part of Satkhira, Khulna, Bagarhat, Jhalokhathi, Potuakhali and Borguna districts are within the tidal plain. The main characteristics of these land area is clay-to-clay loam, criss crossed by numerous streams and channels. The most forest area of our country remains here.

Tidal Plain : 

Tidal Plain

Deltaic Plain : 

Deltaic Plain This area contains from the southern part of the Rajshahi, Natore and Pabna to the boundary of tidal plain from Ganga or Padma. These land area are also very fertile due to silt of river.

Deltaic Plain : 

Deltaic Plain

Flood Plain : 

Flood Plain Rest of Bangladesh that we discussed above, is the vast flood plain. Actually these types of soil are found all over the Bangladesh, as Bangladesh is a land of river. These types of land are formed because of flood and contain a high fertility to grow crops.
