Explanation:
notes of ch physical features of India....!;)
India has all major physical features of the earth, i.e., mountains, plains, deserts, plateaus and islands. The land of India displays great physical variation. Geologically, the Peninsular Plateau constitutes one of the ancient land masses on the earth’s surface. The Himalayas and the Northern Plains are the most recent landforms. The northern plains are formed of alluvial deposits.
Major Physiographic Divisions
The physical features of India are grouped under the following physiographic divisions:
The Himalayan Mountains
The Northern Plains
The Peninsular Plateau
The Indian Desert
The Coastal Plains
The Islands
Let’s discuss each of them in detail:
The Himalayan Mountains
Himalayan mountains are stretched over the northern borders of India. These mountain ranges run in a west-east direction from the Indus to the Brahmaputra. The Himalaya consists of 3 parallel ranges in its longitudinal extent.
The northern-most range is known as the Great or Inner Himalayas or the Himadri. It is the most continuous range consisting of the loftiest peaks with an average height of 6,000 metres.
The folds of the Great Himalayas are asymmetrical in nature. The core of this part of Himalayas is composed of granite.
The range lying to the south of the Himadri forms the most rugged mountain system and is known as Himachal or lesser Himalaya.
Pir Panjal range forms the longest and the most important range.
The outermost range of the Himalayas is called the Shiwaliks. These ranges are composed of unconsolidated sediments.
The longitudinal valley lying between lesser Himalaya and the Shiwaliks are known as Duns. DehraDun, Kotli Dun and Patli Dun are some of the well-known Duns.
The Himalayas have also been divided on the basis of regions from west to east.
The part of Himalayas lying between Indus and Satluj has been traditionally known as Punjab Himalaya but it is also known regionally as Kashmir and Himachal Himalaya from west to east, respectively.
The part of the Himalayas lying between Satluj and Kali rivers is known as Kumaon Himalayas.
The Kali and Teesta rivers divide the Nepal Himalayas and the part lying between Teesta and Dihang rivers is known as Assam Himalayas.
The Brahmaputra marks the eastern-most boundary of the Himalayas.
Beyond the Dihang gorge, the Himalayas bend sharply to the south and spread along the eastern boundary of India, which is known as the Purvachal or the Eastern hills and mountains. The Purvachal comprises the Patkai hills, the Naga hills, the Manipur hills and the Mizo hills.
The Northern Plain
The northern plain has been formed by the interplay of the 3 major river systems – the Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra along with their tributaries. It spreads over an area of 7 lakh sq. km.
