Q1
The physiography of India shows huge variations
1)The North of the country is mountain‐capped‐ The Himalayas act as the northern boundary of India. The lowest mountains of the world like the Mt. Everest and Kanchenjunga are a part of the Himalayan range.
2)The South of the country is a peninsula of the Indian Ocean‐ Thus, coastal climate prevails over the year. It is in stark contrast to the chilly low temperatures in the North.
3)The Western India is mostly a desert‐ The Thar Desert covers the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan where they hardly receive 150 mm of rainfall annually
4)The Eastern India is a region of Plains and Mountains‐ The plains have several perennial rivers and also receive adequate monsoon rains. The North –East is again a hilly terrain. Mawsynram in Meghalaya records the maximum rainfall in the world
