What to Focus On

  • India has a great variety of relief features.
  • The five main relief divisions are mountains, plains, plateau, coastal plains, and islands.
  • The Himalayan region is young, the plateau is old, and the plains are depositional.
  • The Himalayas extend for about 2,400 km from the Indus to the Brahmaputra.
  • The three parallel ranges are Great Himalayas, Lesser Himalayas, and Shiwaliks.
  • Great Himalayas are the highest and always snow-covered.
  • The plain was formed mainly by river deposition.
  • It stretches 2,400 km from Satluj to the Ganga delta.
  • Its width varies from 150 to 300 km.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The Great Himalayas contain K2, so K2 is the highest peak of the Great Himalayas.

Bhabar is the fertile wet belt and Tarai is the dry porous belt.

Bhangar is the newer, more fertile flood plain and Khadar is the older upland terrace.
