Answer 2

Answer:

The "six physio-graphic divisions of India" are:

1. The Himalayan Mountains

2. Northern Plains

3. Peninsular Plateau

4. Coastal Plains

5. Islands

6. Desert

The Himalayas run from the "west to east" – from "Indus to Brahmaputra". It is divided into "three parts": Himadri or the Greater/Inner Himalayas, Himachal or the "lesser Himalayas" and the Shivalik or the Outer most Himalayas.

Northern plains are made from the alluvial soil deposition of the Indus and Brahmaputra

Peninsular plateau is made from crystalline and metamorphic rocks.

On both sides of plateau runs the "coastal plains" along the "Arabian sea" and the "Bay of Bengal".

Desert lies on the "west of Aravalli hills" in the west part of the country.

"Lakshadweep islands" lie in the "Arabian sea" and the "Andaman and Nicobar" lie in the "Bay of Bengal".
