What to Focus On

  • India has a large latitudinal and longitudinal spread.
  • The exact extent of India is from 8°N to 37°N and from 68°E to 97°E.
  • The north-south and east-west distances are almost equal in length.

  • The Tropic of Cancer passes through the middle of India.
  • India is divided into north temperate and south tropical lands by this latitude.
  • India is still called a tropical country because of monsoon climate and physical geography.

  • India shares both land and sea boundaries.
  • The Himalayas form the northern boundary in many parts.
  • Tibet lies directly across the northern border.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

India is about 3 million sq. km. in area, so the exact area does not matter in exams.

The Tropic of Cancer makes India a non-tropical country because it divides the country into two halves.

India’s north-south and east-west extents are the same, so both distances must be equal.

Memory Tips
