Answer:
Physiographic Divisions of India
On the basis of physical features,India can be divided into following six divisions
The Northern mountains
2. The Northern Plains
3. The Indian Desert
4.The Peninsular Plateau
5. The Coastal Plains
6. The Islands.
(i) The Himalayan Mountains Himalayas are the young fold mountains. They run from west-east
direction from Indus to Brahmaputra covering a distance of 2500 KM. Their width varies from 400 in the
west and 150 KM in the East. The Himalayas may be divided into three parallel ranges:
(a) Greater Himalayas or Himadari(b) Lesser Himalayas or Himachal
(c) Outer Himalayas or Siwaliks.
(a) The Greater Himalayas or Himadari:
- northern most ranges and peaks.
- average height of 6000 metres and width lies between 120 to 190 Kms .
- It has high peaks like Mt. Everest, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Dhaulagiri, Nanga Parbat etc. Mt.
Everest (8848 m) is the highest peak of the world and Kanchenjunga is the highest peak of
Himalaya in India.
- passesexist in this range, namely, Bara Lacha-La, Shipki-La, Nathu-La, Zoji-La etc.
- The Ganga and Yamuna rivers originates from this Himalayas.
(b) The Lesser Himalayas or Himachal:
- height 1000 and 4500 metres
- average width is 50 KM.
- ranges in this are PirPanjal, DhaulaDharand Mahabharata ranges.
- hill stations like Shimla, Dalhousie Darjeeling, Chakrata, Mussoorie, Nanital etc.
- valleys like Kashmir, Kullu, Kangra etc.
(c) The Outer Himalayas or the Siwaliks: outer most range of the Himalayas.
- height varies from 900-1100 meters and the width lies between 10-50 KM.
- valleys lying between Siwalik and Lesser Himalayas (Himachal) are called ‘Duns’ like Dehra
Dun, Kotli Dun and Patli Dun.
Significance of the Himalaya Mountains to India
1. Climatic Influence,
2. Defence
3. Source of Rivers
4. Fertile Soil
5. Hydroelectricity
6. Forest Wealth
7. Agriculture
8. Tourism
9. Pilgrimage
10. Minerals
2. The Northern Plain:
Origin
• The Great plain of Northern India was formed by the sediments brought down by the Indus-
Ganga-Brahmaputra and their tributaries and it is popularly known as the Indo-Ganga-
Brahmaputra plain
• Geologists suggest that there was a shallow trough or geosyncline in between the Himalayas and
the Deccan plateau during the latter geological period of the formation of the Himalayas.
• After the upliftment of the Himalayas, sediments and debris brought down by the rivers, began to
accumulate there to form the vast alluvial plain of northern India.
Northern plains
- located between south of the Himalayas and north of the Peninsular plateau.
- formed by the deposition of the sediments brought by three main river systems namely : the Indus, the
Ganga and the Brahmaputra.
- 2400 km long and its width varies from about 300 km in the west to about 150 km in the east.
- It mainly includes the states of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal and Assam.
- plain is one of the largest and most fertile plains of the world. Major crops such as wheat, rice,
sugarcane, pulses, oil seeds and jute are grown here.
Bsed on relief features the northern plain can be divided into following region:
i. Bhabar- after descending from the mountains, the rivers deposit pebbles in a narrow belt. The
width of this belt is about 8-16 km and it lies parallel to the Shiwaliks. This region is known
as bhabar. All the streams dissappear in this region.
ii. Terai: lies towards south of bhabar belt. In this regiaon, the streams reappear and make awet,
swampy and marshy region.
iii. Bhangar: largest part of northern plainand is composed of the oldest alluvial soil. They lie
above the flood plains and resemble terraces. The soil of this region is locally known as
kankar and is composed of calcareous deposits.
iv. Khadar: the floodplains formed by younger alluvium are called khadar. The soil in this
region is renewed every year and is thus highly fertile.
Regional division of northern plains:
i. Punjab plains: it forms the western part of the northern plains. This is formed by the Indus
and its tributaries like Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, Sutlej. A major portion of this plain is in
Pakistan. Doabs abound in this plain.
ii. Ganga plain: this plain extends between Ghaggar and Tista rivers. The northen states,
Haryana, UP, Delhi, Bhar, Part of Jharkhand and West Bengal lie in the Ganga Plains.
iii. Bramaputra plains: this plain forms the eastern part of the northern plai and lies in Assam,
