Answer 1

Explanation:

The relief features of India display great physical variation. The examples of this variation are as follows

(i) Geologically, the oldest landmass of India is the Peninsular plateau. It is made of the old crystalline, igneous and metamorphic rocks.

(ii) The Himalayas are geologically young and structurally folded mountains, which cover the Northern boundary of India. They have a young topography with high peaks, deep valleys and fast flowing rivers.

(iii) The Northern plains are formed of alluvial deposit brought by the three rivers, Ganga, Indus and Brahmaputra. The Indian desert is an undulating sandy plain covered with sand dunes. It has arid climate with low vegetation cover.
