TELL ME 5 WORDS U CAN THINK OF WHEN U HEAR THE WORD COASTAL PLAINS AND INDIAN DESERT
Answers
Answer:
A coastal plain is flat, low-lying land adjacent to a sea coast. Some of the largest coastal plains are in Alaska and the southeastern United States.[1] The Gulf Coastal Plain of North America extends northwards from the Gulf of Mexico alongwith the Lower Mississippi River to the Ohio River, which is a distance of about 981 miles (1,579 km).
The Coastal Plains of India lie on either side of the Peninsula Plateau, along the western and eastern coasts of India. They extend for about 6,150 km from the Rann of Kutch in the west to West Bengal in the east. They are broadly divided into the Western Coastal Plains and the Eastern Coastal Plains. The two coastal plains meet[citation needed] at Kanyakumari, the southernmost tip of the Indian mainland.
The Thar Desert, also known as the Great Indian Desert, is a large arid region in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent that covers an area of 200,000 km2 (77,000 sq mi) and forms a natural boundary between India and Pakistan. It is the world's 17th largest desert, and the world's 9th largest subtropical desert.
About 85% of the Thar Desert is located within India, with the remaining 15% in Pakistan.[1] In India, it covers about 170,000 km2 (66,000 sq mi), and the remaining 30,000 km2 (12,000 sq mi) of the desert is within Pakistan. The Thar desert forms approximately 5% (c. 4.56%) of the total geographic area of India. More than 60% of the desert lies in the Indian state of Rajasthan, and it extends into the states of Gujarat, Punjab, and Haryana, and the Pakistani province of Sindh.[2] Within Pakistan's Punjab province, the Thar continues as the Cholistan Desert.[3] The desert comprises a very dry part, the Marusthali region in the west, and a semidesert region in the east with fewer sand dunes and slightly more precipitation.[4]
