Six major 'physiographic divisions' of India are:

Explanation:

Himalayan mountains called as the 'roof of the world'. These mountain ranges from 'west to east' direction having width of 400 km. The northern plains are mostly populated area of India. It is formed by 3 river systems.

These rivers are Ganga, Brahmaputra and the Indus. It is divided into two parts i.e., 'the Deccan plateau' and the 'Central highlands'. It is a 'tableland' which is consists of "igneous" and "metamorphic rocks". 'Indian desert' is known as Thar Desert. It lies towards the "western side" of the country. It has a very dry climate.

The coastal plains are divided into three parts. Konkan in north, the 'Kannada plain' in the center and 'Malabar Coast' in the south. India has "two groups of island". The 'Lakshadweep' islands in the "Arabian Sea" and 'Andaman & Nicobar' Island in the 'Bay of Bengal'.
