3. Climate and vegetation Sri lanka: Most of the island's surface consists of plains between 30 and 200 meters above sea level. A coastal belt about thirty meters above sea level surrounds the island. In the northeast and the southwest, the coast cuts across the stratification of the crystalline rocks; these conditions have created one of the world's best natural harbors India:The heavy monsoon rains are responsible for the exceptionally biodiverse tropical wet forests in parts of these regions. In India a tropical wet and dry climate is more common.tropical wet and dry climate Noticeably drier than areas with a tropical monsoon climate, it prevails over most of inland peninsular India except for a semi arid rain shadow east of the Western Ghats. rain shadow

4. Climate Sri Lanka's climate can be described as tropical, and quite hottropical Among the trees of the dry-land forests are some valuable species, such as satinwood, ebony, iron wood, and mahogany.satinwoodebonyiron woodmahogany The nature of agricultural pursuits depended upon the availability of arable land and water resources India is home to an extraordinary variety of climatic regions, ranging from tropical in the south to temperate and alpine in the Himalayan north, where elevated regions receive sustained winter snowfall. The nation's climate is strongly influenced by the Himalayas and the Thar Desert

5. Sri Lanka and India SL:Beginning in the 16th century and culminating during the British rule of the 19th and 20th centuries, the plantation economy came to dominate large sections of the highlands. Plantation farming resulted in a drastic reduction in the natural forest cover and the substitution of domesticated crops, such as rubber, tea, or cinnamon.Britishrubberteacinnamon The coastal belt surrounding the island contains a different settlement pattern that has evolved from older fishing villages. India: As Per the 2010 FAO world agriculture statistics, India is the world's largest producer of many fresh fruits and vegetables, milk, major spices, select fresh meats, select fibrous crops such as jute, several staples such as millets andcastor oil seed.

6. India Other recent studies claim India can easily feed its growing population, plus produce wheat and rice for global exports, if it can reduce food staple spoilage, improve its infrastructure and raise its farm productivity to those achieved by other developing countries such as Brazil and China. India is also the world's second or third largest producer of several dry fruits, agriculture-based textile raw materials, roots and tuber crops,pulses, farmed fish, eggs, coconut, sugarcane and numerous vegetables.
