The gap is also characterized by a distinct difference in cultural traditions, languages, and religious practices, and is further marked by the presence of historical ruins and a rich tradition of silk weaving. The area is known for its fertile lands, including the diara region, and the impact of river erosion on the bank of the Ganges.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Mukherjee |first=Soumyajit |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9MJ1DwAAQBAJ&dq=malda+fault&pg=PA197 |title=Tectonics and Structural Geology: Indian Context |date=2018-10-30 |publisher=Springer |isbn=978-3-319-99341-6 |language=en}}</ref><br />
