Solution

The physiography of India shows huge variations.

  • The North of the country is mountain-capped- The Himalayas act as the northern boundary of India. The loftiest mountains of the world like the Mt. Everest and Kanchenjunga are a part of the Himalayan range.
  • The South of the country is a peninsula of the Indian Ocean- Thus, coastal climate prevails over the year. It is in stark contrast to the chilly low temperatures in the North.
  • The Western India is mostly a desert- The Thar Desert covers the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan where they hardly receive 150 mm of rainfall annually.
  • The Eastern India is a region of Plains and Mountains- The plains have several perennial rivers and also receive adequate monsoon rains. The North –East is again a hilly terrain. Mawsynram in Meghalaya records the maximum rainfall in the world.
