Answer: 1.Because of the large coastline…we have natural harbours which promotes fishing industry and tourism.
Large land boundary is mostly occupied by the mountains which acts a climatic boon and blocks the cold Siberian winds to destroy the flora and fauna of the country.
Large land and coastline has supported to develop a strong army and naval force to protect the country.
2.The longitudinal extent of India is large. Following are its implecations:
The longitudinal extent affects the local time for different states in our country.
From Gujarat to Arunachala Pradesh, there is a time lag of 2 hours.
The local time of a place depends on the longitude which passes through it.
3.Local time is the time at a certain location. It can change if the location observes Daylight Saving Time (DST) or if the national government changes the time zone of the location. ... It can also be thought of as mean sundial time. For example, the local mean time at New York City is UTC-4:56:02.
4.India is a very big country. In order to maintain the uniformity of time within the country the Standard Meridian of India is taken as 82 ½ ° E longitude. It passes through the city of Allahabad. The local time along this Meridian serves as the Indian Standard Time (I.S.T) .
5.82°30' E has been selected as the Standard Meridian of India because it is situated in the centre of all longitudes and latitudes in which our country is located. ... The local times which lie on different meridians are bound to differ. The sun rises two hours earlier in Arunachal Pradesh as compared to Gujarat
6.India’s contacts with world have continued through the ages but her relationships through the land routes are much older than her maritime contacts. The various passes across th mountains in the north have provided passages to the ancient travellers, while the oceans restricted such interaction for a lon time. These routes hae contributed in the exchange of ideas and commodities since ancient times. The ideas of upanishads, Ramayana, the stories of Panchtantra,the Indian numericals and the decimal system could reach many parts of the world.
7.The central location of India at the head of the Indian Ocean is considered of great significance because -
→ It has given India a strategic advantage due to the Trans Indian ocean routes which connect the countries of Europe in the West and the countries of East Asia.
→ This helps India to establish close contact with West Asia, Africa and Europe from the Western coast and with Southeast and East Asia from the Eastern coast.
→ The vast coastline and the natural harbors have benefited India in carrying out trade and commerce with its neighboring and distant countries.
→ It has given India a distinct climate than the rest of the Asian Continent
8.The indian ocean is surrounded by three side by the water is known as peninsular plateau.It is covered by three side of water that is the reason naming of indian ocean after India. The Indian Ocean is called so because it surrounds Indian sub continent.
