Indian subcontinent contains six countries (as showed up in the image given under) specifically −
Afghanistan,
Pakistan,
Nepal,
India,
Bhutan, and
Bangladesh.
Indian Subcontinent
The whole subcontinent was known as Bharatavarsha or Hindustan in old-fashioned time.
The word Hindustan is gotten from the name of the stream Sindhu, enunciated by the westerners as 'Hindu' or 'Indu.' The name India is thus decided.
Geographical Division
The geographical furthest reaches of Bharatavarsha are isolated by −
The Himalayas in the north;
The Pamir level and Sulaiman Kirthar ranges in the western and north-western side;
The Sound of Bengal in the east and Bedouin Sea in the west; and
The Indian Ocean in the south.
The topography of the subcontinent can be concentrated under the three after parts −
The Himalayas,
The Indo-Gangetic-Brahmaputra plain, and
The Deccan level.
The Himalayas
The Himalaya is around 2,400 Km long (from east to west) and around 250 to 320 km wide (north to south).
The Himalaya contacts Afghanistan in the west to Myanmar in the east.
There are around 114 zeniths (of Himalayan Mountain Reach), which are more than 20,000 feet high.
Irrefutably the most important zeniths (of the Himalaya) are −
Gauri Shankar or Mount Everest (it is the most raised peak on earth),
Kanchanjanga,
Dhaulagiri,
Nanga Parvat, and
Nanda Devi.
The Himalayas structure a limit against the new assaults from the north.
The Khyber and Bolan passes were prominent since the bygone era. Khyber Pass was renowned as the 'entryway to India.'
The Indo-Gangetic-Brahmaputra Plain
Obsolete India Guide
The staggering plain hoodwinks the south of the Himalayas. It covers more than 255 million hectares productive plain zone.
The fantastic plain is outlined by the streams beginning from Himalaya.
The Indus, the Ganga, and the Brahmaputra are the three critical stream systems.
The old Stream Saraswati and its feeders used to flow through the northern plain zone. The flood of Saraswati had flown through the states of Haryana, Punjab, and Rajasthan.
The Indus Stream has five feeders (moving from east to west), specifically −
The Sutlej (Satudri),
The Beas (Vipasa),
The Ravi (Parushni),
The Chenab (Asikni), and
The Jhelum (Vitesta).
The stream Sutlej was (at one at once) of the lost stream Saraswati, anyway changed its course. Brahmaputra beginning from the eastern bit of the Lake Manasarovar in the Kailasa Extent (of Himalaya) streams eastward through the degree of Tibet. Before entering India, its name is 'Tsangpo.'
It experiences Assam and Bengal and joins the eastern most mouth of the Ganga i.e., Padma.
Starting from the Gangotri ice sheet, the Stream Ganga travels through the India and Bangladesh finally debouches into the Inlet of Bengal. It is the most blessed stream of India.
The Deccan Level
The outside of the Deccan level (which is arranged in the southern bit of the subcontinent) is slanted from west to east.
On the western side, an extent of high feigns is arranged (toward) south to north leaving a restricted bit of plain among it and the sea. It is known as the Western Ghats.
The Eastern Ghats (which is organized along the eastern coast) is isolated into social occasions of low inclines. It has a couple of openings through which the peninsular streams join the River of Bengal.
Central Indian Level
The Central Indian level stretches from Gujarat in the west to Chhota Nagpur in the east.
Thar, the Unique Indian Desert misdirects the north-west of the Aravalli range.
Central Indian level contains Malwa level, Bundelkhand, and Baghelkhand.
The Sea shore front Regions
The western sea shore front plain stretches from the Sound of Cambay in the north to Kerala in the south.
The northern bit of the western coast is known as the Konkan coast. Besides, the southern one is known as the Malabar Coast.
A bit of the ideal harbors are arranged in the Konkan and Malabar region.
The eastern coast has a few trademark harbor. The normal harbors give an event to maritime activities during the true time frame, which lead to more vivacious and gainful contacts with the south-east Asian countries.
The southern tip of the projection is known as Cape Comorin.
Environment
The Indian subcontinent is found by and large in the tropical zone and has a really warm climate reliably.
The Indian subcontinent has three seasons specifically, winter, summer, and swirling.
Stroll to June is the hot season. The temperature goes up to 48° C or more in specific areas. It follows the swirling season from July to October.
The south-west rainstorm obtains deluge the country.
The areas of Haryana, Rajasthan, and a couple of bits of Sind and Gujarat get less precipitation, yet during the bygone era, it got higher precipitation and made an ideal condition for the headway of the Harappan human advancement.
