Q3.What is the longitudinal extent of India ? What are the implications of the longitudinal
extent of India?​

Answer 1

The main land of India extends from 8o 4' 28" N to 37o 17' 53" N latitudes and from 68o 7' 53" E to 97o 24' 47" E longitudes. The latitudinal and longitudinal extent of India is approximately the same. 3. Longer coastline means more no of sea ports for more trade.

Answer 2

Answer:

The longitudinal extent of india is 69`7'E to 97`25'E

Implications:

• The longitudinal extent of india is about 30 degrees in the eastern hemisphere. It occupies the south central peninsula of Asia at the head of the Indian Ocean.
• 15 degrees of longitudinal difference, there is a corresponding time difference of 1 hr. As a result of this variation, Arunachal Pradesh is nearly 2 hrs. ahead of Gujarat in local time.
