Answer:
(i) India is situated north of the equator between 8°4' north to 37°6' north latitude and 68°7' to 97°25' east longitude. ... India measures 3,214 km (1,997 mi) from north to south and 2,933 km (1,822 mi) from east to west. It has a land frontier of 15,200 km (9,445 mi) and a coastline of 7,516.6 km (4,671 mi).
(ii)Most rivers rise from these two highlands. Since India's slope is from west to east most of the Indian rivers, which originate (either in the Himalayas or the Western Ghats) flow from west to east. ... Therefore, almost all of the major rivers drain into the Bay of Bengal (which is located to the East).
(iii)Climate of the Himalayas
