Geography of India
Class Discussion In what ways would you describe Indiarsquos geography
Physical Geography of India
India is a SUBCONTINENT which is a large landmass that is like a continent only smallerThe subcontinent includes present-day Bangladesh Bhutan India Nepal and most of Pakistan
Bangladesh
Bhutan
India
Nepal
Pakistan
Geographers think the kite-shaped Indian subcontinent used to be a separate land It inched north until it hit Asia The collision pushed up mountains where the two lands met
What that collision created so many millions of years ago is still growing Inch by inch year by year The mountains are one of the most awe-inspiring features of planet Earth

MountainsThose high mountains tower over the northern borders of
India They form several mountain ranges including the Hindu Kush and the Himalayas In the southwest and southeast are the Western and Eastern Ghats ranges LABEL THE RANGES ON YOUR MAP
HIMALAYAS The worldrsquos largest
mountain range It covers 420000 square miles The 10 tallest mountains on Earth are located here including Mt Everest (29029ft)
HINDU KUSH A large
mountain range that separates India from Western Asia It covers 60000 square miles
WESTERN GHATS This range stretches almost 1000 miles along the western portion of the land mass
EASTERN GHATS Similar
to the Western Ghats this range stretches roughly 1000 miles
WaterwaysIn addition to tall mountains the subcontinent has several great rivers These include the Ganges and the Indus Rivers
GANGES RIVER1596 miles
INDUS RIVER1976 miles
Like other rivers you have studied these two rivers carry water for irrigation The deposited silt made the land very fertile The first Indian civilization was located near the Indus River valley
The Arabian Sea Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal surround India Ancient Indians sailed these waters to other ancient lands such as Mesopotamia This travel helped encourage trade
LABEL THE WATERWAYS
ClimateThe tall mountains help block cold north winds from reaching much of India As a result temperatures are generally warm there In addition a seasonal winds called MONSOONS shape Indiarsquos climate Because of the monsoon India has a dry season in the winter a rainy season in the summer Indiarsquos summer monsoon provides rain for Indiarsquos crops But these rains can also cause severe floods
