INDIA - LOCATION

Y
ou have already seen the map of India
in the previous classes. Now you closely
examine the map of India (Figure 1.1).
Mark the southernmost and northernmost
latitudes and the easternmost and
westernmost longitudes,
The mainland of India, extends from
Kashmir in the north to Kanniyakumari in the
south and Arunachal Pradesh in the east to
Gujarat in the west. India's territorial limit
further extends towards the sea upto 12
nautical miles (about 21.9 km) from the coast.
(See the box for conversion)
Practical Work in Geography - Part 1 (NCERI
2006) to find out.
This difference is based on the fact that the
distance between two longitudes decreases
towards the poles whereas the distance
between two latitudes remains the same
everywhere. Find out the distance between two
latitudes?
From the values of latitude, it is understood
that the southern part of the country lies
within the tropics and the northern part lies in
the sub-tropical zone or the warm temperate
wone. This location is responsible for larg
variations in land forms, climate, soil types and
natural vegetation in the country.
Now, let us observe the longitudinal extent
and its implications on the Indian people. From
the values of longitude. It is quite discernible
that there is a variation of nearly 30 degrees.
which causes a time difference of nearly two
hours between the easternmost and the
westernmost parts of our country. You are
familiar with the concept of Indian Standard
Time (IST). What is the use of the standart
meridian? While the sun rises in the
northeastern states about two hours earlier as
compared to Jaisalmer, the watches in
Dibrugarh, Imphal in the east and Jaisalmer
Bhopal or Chennal in the other parts of India
show the same time. Why does this happen
A
Our southern boundary extends upto
8945 N latitude in the Bay of Bengal, Let us
try to analyse the implications of having such
a vast longitudinal and latitudinal extent.
If you work out the latitudinal and
longitudinal entent of India, they are roughly
about 30 degrees, whereas the actual distance
measured from north to south extremity is
3214 km, and that from east to west is only
2.933 km. What is the reason for this
difference Consult Chapter 3 on the topic
Latitude. Longitude and Time in the book
12
There is a general understanding among the countries of the world to select the standard
mendian in multiples d 730 d longtude. That is why 82 39 E has been selected as the
standard meridian of India. Indian Standard Time is ahead of Greenwich Mean Time by
There are some countries where there are more than one standard mendian due to
their vast to west extent. Por example, the USA has seven time vones.​
