LANDFORMS

The world’s highest mountains separate this region from the rest of Asia. This region is called the India subcontinent, which means a very large landmass that is smaller than a continent.

Tectonic forces have pushed India into the rest of Asia in a process of mountain building.

This has created the Himalayas. In India, the Himalayas contain Kachenjunga, the highest point in India and the 3 rd highest in the world.

Nepal and Bhutan Are landlocked countries in the Himalayas north of India. Both countries are extremely mountainous.

Mount Everest The world’s highest mountain, is on the border of Nepal and China.

Two mountain ranges border India in the east and the west: The Ghats.

To the Northwest of India is Pakistan It is about twice the size of California.

In the North Pakistan is very mountainous (Hindu Kush) and dry In the south, the Indus River Valley is fertile farmland.

On the Ganges Delta lies the country of Bangladesh This region is constantly changing due to floods

South of the Gangetic Plain is the Deccan A high plateau.

South of India is Sri Lanka, A beautiful tropical island country.

The Maldives lie to the southwest of India. This tropical country is an archipelago, made up of about 1,200 small coral islands.

WATER FEATURES

The Ganges River begins in the Himalayas, And runs south into a region called the Gangetic Plain.

This is a low flat region that stretches 1500 miles across India. It is the world’s largest alluvial plain (in some places it is 25,000 ft. deep!)

The Ganges River flows for more than 1500 miles. Millions of people depend on it for water and fish.

NATURAL RESOURCES

India’s most important natural resources are its soil and rivers. About 56% of the country is arable compared to 19% of the United States.
