The differences:
1. With the Tropic of Cancer as the border that divides India to the same extent in north as well as South, South is in the Tropics while North is in temperate climatic zone.
2. South is the peninsular Triangle, implying that sea surrounds it on three sides except to the North. North has no sea shore worth the name & suffers from continental climate. Northern plains south of the Himalayas & their spurs offer transition region from desert in west to intense Monsoon climate in east with the highest global rainfall record around Bengal (in one answer above, the Monsoon region in North East was ignored; funnily by a Bengali who should know better) that is not considered South.
3. Topography : South is the Indian continental plate & hence is ancient rock, perched on a plateau (Deccan) now, along with thin coastal strip. North is mostly the soft alluvial loam formed over silted up fertile soil of recent origin & raised from an ancient (Tethys) sea.
4. Even the population (though Indians racially are thoroughly mixed-up by now after three thousand years of absorption) in South is mostly of the earlier Dravid stock. In North they constitute mostly the human waves from Central Asia - Aryans (if one is not as ignorant as Hitler, to read this) followed by various Scythian tribes.
An added fact: India has the same Latitude extent or spread as Australia with North switching places with South. The only difference is that Australia has sea surrounding it in the Pole ward region too in contrast to the continental, land-locked North India.
