Answer 1

Answer:India is bounded by young fold mountains in the North-West, North and North-East. India's landmass begins to form cone shape in South of 220 North latitude. This landmass extends towards the Indian oceans and divides it into Arabian sea in West and the Bay of Bengal in East. The latitudinal as well as longitudinal extent of the mainland is about 30° both ways. The fact is that the East West extent appears smaller than the North-South extent. The North-South distance is 3214 km while the East West distance is 2933 km.
