Why India is a sub-continent ?
Answer:
India is often called a subcontinent because it is a distinct landmass, not just a country.
- It has many features of a continent, it is not as big as one, so is not considered a continent.
- India was once a continent (or at least a very large island).
- Due to continental drift, India moved north and became part of Asia.
- India is now joined with the continent of Asia, but is a distinct area separated by the Himalayas.
- Originally it was a separate geologic plate, but has collided and merged with Asia.
