Answers
Answer:
The physical features of India can be divided into six categories, depending on their geological features:
The Himalayan Mountains.
The Northern Plains.
Indian Desert.
Peninsular Plateau.
Coastal Plains.
Islands.
Explanation:
HIMALAYAN MOUNTAINS=The Himalayas include over fifty mountains exceeding 7,200 m (23,600 ft) in elevation, including ten of the fourteen 8,000-metre peaks. ... Lifted by the subduction of the Indian tectonic plate under the Eurasian Plate.
THE NORTHERN PLAINS =Northern Plains have fertile soil which is needed to grow crops. They are drained by rivers Ganga, Brahmaputra, Indus. So, to feed country Northern Plains are necessary. The northern plains in general and Punjab in particular is the wheat bowl of India.
INDIAN DESSERT=Thar Desert, also called Great Indian Desert, arid region of rolling sand hills on the Indian subcontinent. It is located partly in Rajasthan state, northwestern India, and partly in Punjab and Sindh (Sind) provinces, eastern Pakistan.
PENINSULAR PLATEAU=The Peninsular plateau is a tableland composed of the old crystalline, igneous and metamorphic rocks. It was formed due to the breaking and drifting of the Gondwana land and thus, making it a part of the oldest landmass. The plateau has broad and shallow valleys and rounded hills.
COASTAL PLAINS=A coastal plain is flat, low-lying land adjacent to a sea coast. Some of the largest coastal plains are in Alaska and the southeastern United States. ... The Coastal Plains of India lie on either side of the Peninsula Plateau, along the western and eastern coasts of India.
ISLANDS= Island, any area of land smaller than a continent and entirely surrounded by water. Islands may occur in oceans, seas, lakes, or rivers. A group of islands is called an archipelago. Islands may be classified as either continental or oceanic.
