Answer:
What are relief physical features?
Relief usually refers to the highest and lowest elevation points in an area. Mountains and ridges are the highest elevation points, while valleys are the lowest.In geography, a location's relief is the difference between its highest and lowest elevations. For example, with both mountains and valleys in the area, the local relief of Yosemite National Park is impressive. A two-dimensional relief map displays the topography of a given areaTypical landforms include hills, mountains, plateaus, canyons, and valleys, as well as shoreline features such as bays, peninsulas, and seas, including submerged features such as mid-ocean ridges, volcanoes, and the great ocean basins.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.

The eastern most boundary of the Himalayas is the Brahmaputra valley.
The divisions of the Himalayas in Arunachal Pradesh beyond the Dihang valley is known as Purvanchal.
Regionally the purvanchal are known as patkai hills, the Naga hills, Manipuri hills, Khasi and Mizo hills.
The Himalayas are reason for summer rains and monsoon type climate in India.
'Doab' means two rivers. In the western part of great northern plain the 'Doab' features dominate the fertile land.
Ganga plain extends from the rivers Ghaggar to Teesta.
Gravel and pebble sediments feature is known as ' Bhabar' .
Swampy and Marshy region called Terai.
The Southern most tip of the Peninsular Plateau is Kanyakumari .
The India Plateau is slightly tilted towards east.
Chotanagpur plateau is rich mineral resources .
Western Ghats, Eastern Ghats and Nilgiris form Western , Eastern and Southern boundaries to the Deccan plateau.
The famous hill Station Udagamandalam, popularly known as Ooty, is located in Nilgiris.
Doda Betta (2637 mts) is the highest peak in western Ghats.
The highest peak in Eastern Ghats is Aroya Konda found at Chinthapalli (1680 mts , in the A.P ).
The Peninsular plateau is formed with black soils due to volcanic activity.
The Thar Desert is located on the leeward side of Aravalis.
The Thar Desert receives very low amount of rainfall (100 to 150 mm per year)
'Luni' is the only river in the Thar Desert.
'Indira Gandhi Canal' is the longest canal in Country (650 kms) watering part of the Thar desert.

The Southernmost tip India is found in Nicobar called as ' Indira Point' .
Explanation:
Perennial: Continuing throughout the entire year as a stream. The seasonal cycle of accumulation of ice, movement and melting of Greater Himalayas.
Coral reefs: Under water Structure made from calcium and carbonate secreted by corals. Corals is an animal that lives under the sea on the bed and lives on a skeleton that it has created. Coral begins out as a small polpup and attaches it self to a good spot and then starts creating a skeliton to live on coral gets food by algae , algae are attracted to the skelital structure because for the algae to live.
Coastal Plains: A plain adjacent to a coast is called coastal plain. The southern part of the peninsular is borded by narrow costal strips along the Arabian Sea on the west and the Bay of Bangal on the east.
Peninsula: A Place/ Piece of the which is surrounded by water on three sides. But connected the main land on the side. The peninsular plateau is a table land composed of the old crystalline, igneous and metamorphic rocks. It was formed due to the breaking and drifting of the Gondwanaland and thus making it a part of the oldest landmass.

Shivalik: The Southern most range of Himalayas . A mountain rage of the outer Himalayas.
Purvanchal: In Arunachal Pradesh beyond the Dihang valley , the Himalayas take hair pin bend to the south and act as eastern boundary of India and run through the north eastern states. These division are known as "Purvanchal ".
