India is divided into six physiographic divisions on basis of the varied physiographic features: units as follows: Northern and North-eastern Mountain; Northern Plain; Peninsular Plateau; Indian Desert; Coastal Plains; and Islands.
Contrast the relief of the Himalayan region with that of the Peninsular plateau. Formed by folding process due to collision of the Indo Australia plate with the Eurasian plate. Formed due to the breaking and drifting of Gondwana land. Himalayas made up of sedimentary rocks.
