How india got vast diversified relief and topography

Answer 1

$\huge \boxed{ \fcolorbox{orange}{orange}{Answer}}$

India our country is a vast land. It stretches from Kashmir in the north to Kanyakumari in the south and Arunachal Pradesh in the eastern end to the deserts of Kutchh in the west.

Spread across its vast expanse of 3.28 square kilometers, the land is surrounded by the Himalayas in the north, Bay of Bengal in the East, the Arabian Sea on the west and the Indian Ocean on the south. With so much variation in the landscape within one landmass, India our country is most certainly, rich in diversity.

Location & Climate

India our country is located in the northern hemisphere between 8°4’N to 37°6’N latitudes and 68°7’E and 97°25’E longitudes. And, the Tropic of Cancer cuts the landmass halfway through, at 23°30’N latitude. Due to this, the country enjoys a subtropical climate.

Also, the longitudinal distance of the country causes variation in time. Like, in Arunachal Pradesh, the sun rises almost two hours earlier than in the Kutch region. But, we consider the longitude of 82°30’E to set the Indian Standard Time.

(India has vast diversified relief and topography because of several reasons.

It has a long longitudinal and latitudinal extent. While the northern part of the country lie in subtropical zone, the southern part of the country is in tropical zone. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the Lakshadweep islands lie in the equatorial region. This has resulted in variety of relief features in the country.

While India has the Himalayas in the north, the southern part of the country is peninsula surrounded by sea from three sides. This has also resulted in varied temperature and climatic conditions in the north and southern parts of the country.

India has a desert, the Thar Desert in the north western parts of the country due to arid conditions.)
