• The country is divided about evenly in half by the Tropic of Cancer  (23° 30'N).
• The Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the Lakshadweep Islands are located in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, respectively, to the southeast and southwest of the mainland.
• The north, northeast, and northwest of India are bordered by the young fold mountains.
• It begins to taper and extends towards the Indian Ocean south of 22° north latitude, splitting it into two seas, the Bay of Bengal on the east and the Arabian Sea on the west.
