Explanation:
1. The Himadri also called the Great or Inner Himalayas, is the northern most range of the Himalayas.
2. This part of Himalayas stretches from west to east, which is also called as Punjab Himalaya. This section covers various ranges such as Ladakh, Karakoram, Zaskar, Pir Panjal and Dhaola Dhar. It is 560 kms long and elevation falls westwards.
7. Landmass comprising the continents of North America and South America is called Americas
8. The northern plains have been formed by the interplay of the three major river systems the Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra along with their tributaries. The Himalayan uplift out of the Tethy’s sea and subsidence of the northern flank of the Peninsular plateau resulted in the formation of a large basin. In due course of time, this depression gradually got filled with the deposition of the sediments by the rivers flowing from mountains in the north. A flat land with extensive alluvial deposits by these rivers led to the formation of the Northern Plains of India. With a rich soil cover, combined with adequate water supply and favourable climate, it is agriculturally a very productive part of India.
9. Places like the western Ghats receive heavy rainfall of more than 200 cm whereas the desert regions of Rajasthan receive scanty rainfall of less 50 cm a year.
10. The northern part of the ancient super continent Pangea was named as ‘Angara Land’ or Laurasia and the southern part was named as ‘Gondwana Land’. The Gondwana Land includes India, Australia, South Africa, South America, and Antarctica.
11. The land of India displays great physical variation. Geologically, the Peninsular Plateau constitutes one of the ancient landmasses on the earth’s surface. It was supposed to be one of the most stable land blocks. The Himalayas and the Northern Plains are the most recent landforms.
12. The Himalayan uplift out of the Tethys Sea and subsidence of the Northern flank of the peninsular plateau resulted in the formation of this large basin.
13. Deccan plateau lies south to river Narmada
14. The River that flows throw the Indian Desert is Luni. It's the only large river in this region . Streams appear during rainy Season . Soon after they disappear into the sand , as they do not have enough water to reach the sea.
15. Guru Shikhar is the highest peak of the Aravalli Range and lies about 15 kilometres from Mount Abu. The height of the peak is 1722 meters from sea level thereby promising a breathtaking view of the Aravalli range and the hill station of Mount Abu.
16. Barren Island, one of the most easterly of the Andaman Islands, is the only confirmed active volcano in India. The island along with the rest of the Andamans is the the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, and lies some 135 kms northeast of the territory's capital, Port Blair.
