Answer:

India is bounded by the young fold

mountains in the northwest, north and

northeast. South of about 22° north

latitude, it begins to taper, and extends

towards the Indian Ocean, dividing it into

two seas, the Arabian Sea on the west and

the Bay of Bengal on its east.

Look at Figure 1.3 and note that the

latitudinal and longitudinal extent of the

mainland is about 30°. Despite this fact, the

east-west extent appears to be smaller than

the north-south extent.

From Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh,

there is a time lag of two hours. Hence, time

along the Standard Meridian of India

(82°30'E) passing through Mirzapur (in

Uttar Pradesh) is taken as the standard time

for the whole country. The latitudinal extent

influences the duration of day and night, as

one moves from south to north.
