Question

write short note about andaman Nicobar Islands and laskadeep ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands refer to a group of islands at the confluence of the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea. They are one of India's seven union territories, with 572 islands, 37 of which are inhabited.

The Andaman Sea separates the territory from Thailand and Myanmar, about 150 kilometres (93 miles) north of Aceh, Indonesia. The Andaman Islands (partly) and the Nicobar Islands (wholly) are separated by the 150-kilometer-long Ten Degree Channel (on the 10°N parallel), with the Andamans to the north and the Nicobars to the south (or by 179 km). The city of Port Blair serves as the territory's capital. These islands have a gross land area of approximately 8,249 km2 (3,185 sq mi). The Andaman and Nicobar Command, the Indian Armed Forces' only tri-service geographical command, is based on the islands.

Lakshadweep Island:

Lakshadweep is a group of islands in the Laccadive Sea, located 200 to 440 kilometres off India's southwest coast. The archipelago is ruled by the Indian Union Government as a Union Territory. They were also known as the Laccadive Islands, despite the fact that this is just the name of the group's central subgroup. In Sanskrit and Malayalam, Lakshadweep means "one hundred thousand islands."

The islands are India's smallest Union Territory, with a total surface area of just 32 km2 (12 sq mi). The lagoon occupies approximately 4,200 km2 (1,600 sq mi), territorial waters 20,000 km2 (7,700 sq mi), and exclusive economic zone 400,000 km2 (150,000 sq mi). With ten subdivisions, the area forms a single Indian district. The capital of the Union Territory is Kavaratti, and the city is under the jurisdiction of the Kerala High Court.
