1 - himalays are situation North to india.
- himalayas are main source of rivers.
-the world highest mountain mount Everest is sit. uated in Himalayas.

2- The Sundarbans is a cluster of low-lying islands in the Bay of Bengal, spread across India and Bangladesh, famous for its unique mangrove forests. This active delta region is among the largest in the world, measuring about 40,000 sq km.
When the Ganga flows towards West Bengal, it splits into two the Bhagirathi-Hooghly (a distributary) flows southwards through the deltaic plains to the Bay of Bengal. The main stream, flows southwards into Bangladesh and is joined by the Brahmaputra, thus resulting in the formation of a delta. The delta formed by these rivers is known as the Sunderban Delta. The Sunderban Delta derived its name from the Sundari tree which grows well in marsh land. It is the world's largest and fastest growing delta.
The Sundarbans is of universal importance for globally endangered species including the Royal Bengal Tiger, Ganges and Irawadi dolphins, estuarine crocodiles and the critically endangered endemic river terrapin (Batagur baska). It is the only mangrove habitat in the world for Panthera tigris tigris species.
3- The Peninsular plateau is a tableland composed of the old crystalline, igneous and metamorphic rocks. It was formed due to the breaking and drifting of the Gondwana land and thus, making it a part of the oldest landmass. The plateau has broad and shallow valleys and rounded hills.

2. The East Coast plain runs smoothly from the north to the south with a broad plain and level surface whereas the West Coast plain also runs from the north to the south and it is in some places intersected by the mountain ridges.
3. The large rivers make wide deltas on the Eastern Coastal Plains. But the short swift rivers do not make any deltas on the West Coast.
5- The Capital of Andaman and Nicobar islands is Port Blair and the capital of Lakshadweep islands is Kavarati. ... Andaman and Nicobar are volcanic islands and Lakshadweep are ccoral islands. 4. Andaman and Nicobar islands have 500 islands while Lakshadweep islands have 36 islands.
