The diverse relief of the Indian subcontinent can be attributed to the following reasons:
-During the formation of the Indian subcontinent, when it broke off from the Gondwanaland mass. The movement of the tectonic plate collided with the Eurasia plate forming features such as the Himalayas.
-Different processes such as weathering, erosion and deposition over the years have shaped different regions of the Indian subcontinent.
-These processes are largely due to the vast rivers that are widely distributed around the country that are responsible for erosion, deposition and weathering.
-The Indian land mass is quite huge and is subject to different climatic conditions that has had an effect on the relief conditions. The deserts on the south may be as a result.
-Volcanic activities have also shaped relief features such as the Deccan plateau.
