Physical features of India

● 1.The Northern Mountains ● 2. The North India Plain● 3.The peninsular Plateau● 4. The Coastal regions of island

T he Northern mountains

● There are 3 parallel ranges in the Himalaya.

There are: 1. The greater himalayas or himadri, 2.The lesser himalayas or himachal,

3.The outer himalayas or Siwaliks.

Greater Himalayas or Himadri

They are the highest ranges of the himalayan mountain.The average height of these ranges is 6,000 meters above sea level. The important mountains passes are

1. Shipli-la which connects Gartok

in Tibet with Shimlain Himachal Pradesh across river Satluj 2. Jelep-la which connets Lhasa the capital of Tibet with Kalimpong in west bengal.

They provide good transport and also attra tourist

Himalayas

● They stop the monsoon wind and causes rainfall

● Plenty of mineral resources● Birth place of many rivers● Attaract tourists.● Stop the cold winds that blow from Central

Asia● Medicinal plants and herbs grown in these

mountains

The North India Plains

Called heart of India Because● Land is almost flat● Very easy to construct irrigation canal● Have excellent roads and railways● Helps ful for establishment of industries● About 40% of the total population of India lives

here.● Have inland Navigation

Western Ghats

● Very Higher than eastern ghats● Closer to the sea ● Continuous ghats● Gets More rainfall

Eastern Ghats

● Not high has much as wester ghats● Not closer to the sea● Not continuous ghats● Gets less rainfall

West coast

● Gets more rainfall● Width in narrow● Straight● Less natural harbles

East Coast

● Gets less rainfall● Width in Border● Not straight● More natural harbles

East Coast

● Gets less rainfall● Width in Border● Not straight● More natural harbles

North Indian Rivers

● Rise in Himalayan Mountain ● Perrinial ● Best of inland navigation● Large delta area

South Indian Rivers

● Rise in Wester ghats● Seasonal● Useful for hydro electricity● Less delta areas

Rivers and Birthplace

● Sindu - Mount. Kailash● Ganga – Gangotri● Chambal – Malwa plateau● Sone – Maikala range● Brahmaputra – Chemayundung● Krishna – Mahabaleshwara● Mahanadi – Sivaharanse● Kaveri – Tala kaveri● Narmada – Vindhya Range (Amarkantak)

Improtance of Rivers

● Generation of hydro electricity● Irrigation● Inland Navigaion

The improtant salt water lakes of India are Chilka and Pulicat

The improtant fresh water lake of Kashmir is 'Dal' lake near Srinagar

and Wulur lake. 'Nal' lake near Ahmedabad is fresh water lake and is

a well-known asbird sanctury
