India is one of the most beautiful places on earth. India, known as the land of the rivers, has its beauty and has been extensively occupied by many passengers since ancient times. Let's learn more about India's geography.India is a vast land of our country. It stretches from Kashmir in the north to Kanyakumari in the north and Kunzin in the west direction from the east to Arunachal Pradesh to the north.
ReplyDeleteSpread over a total area of 3.28 square kilometers, it is surrounded by Himalayan in the north, the Bay of Bengal in the east, Arabian Sea in the west and the Indian Ocean in the south. India is the most diverse country in a land area and has the greatest difference in our country.
India is located in the northern hemisphere of our country between 8 ° 4'N to 37 ° 6'N earthquake and 68 ° 7'E and 97 ° 25'E length. Furthermore, the Tropic of Cancer will be affected by 23 ° 30'N latitude. Because of this, the country experiences a subtle atmosphere. Learn about India's climate in detail.
Moreover, the longest distance of the country varies. As in Arunachal Pradesh, the sun rises two hours before the Sook region. But we consider the area of 82 ° 30'E to set up Indian situation.
It is located in the western part of the state of Rajasthan and in some parts of Gujarat. Due to the hot and dry climate, there are fewer plants in this area.At the bottom of the Himalayas lies the northern plains on the right. Due to the network of large rivers such as Ganga, Sind, and Brahmaputra, these plains are filled with abundant landscape and are therefore quite rich. This is the heavy crop of crops. As a result, the northern plains have the maximum density of the population.
This range creates the backbone of the Himalayas. It has nine of the world's fourteen high peaks. The middle boundary is also called Himalayas. South-very short border, shaky range. VIEW MORE : GST Software
