Tropical region in india

• • • • • Covering a total land area of 3,287,263 sq.km, India is the world’s 7 th largest and the 2 nd-most populous country; that extends from the snow-capped Himalayas in the north to the tropical rain forests in the south. As observed on the map, the Himalayas form the highest mountain range in the world, and slope southwards into a large fertile plain that covers most part of the country. The Himalayas comprises of three parallel mountain ranges including the Himadri, Himachal and Shivaliks, that extends from the Indus River in the northwest, to the Brahmaputra River in the east. All these mountain ranges are interspersed with deep canyons, plateaus and valleys. The highest point in India is Mount Kanchenjunga which rises to 28,208 ft. (8,598 m). The lowest point is the Indian Ocean (0m). Numerous rivers drain the land and the extensive floodplains are mainly formed by three river basins – the Indus, the Ganges and the Brahmaputra. the Ganges is the heartbeat of India and one of the most significant rivers on the planet. In the north western part of the country is the Thar Desert region. The land rises slightly into two plateaus, bordered in the central and south by lower mountains (Western and Eastern Ghats), that gently slope into narrow coastal plains. States of India Map India is divided into 28 states and 8 Union Territories. The states are: Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnatak...

Rainforests Rainforests are found in regions with Mean Annual Rainfall (MAR) of more than 2500 millimeters, where most months of the year receive measurable rainfall, and mean annual temperatures are around 26 Degrees Celsius. These are regions of high biodiversity, and have trees reaching up to 60 meters tall. Rosewood, ebony and mahogany are some trees found here. In the Himalayas, animals such as the Leaf muntjac, hoolock gibbon, sun bear, gaur, red panda, and more than 500 species of birds are found. In the south elephants, sloth bear, niligris langur occur. According to World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), these regions also have a concentration of endemic aquatic animals, including 100 fish and 100 amphibian species and 20% of its mollusks. These forests are found in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Western Ghats in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, and North-Eastern India. This type includes Andaman Islands Rain Forests, Nicobar Islands Rain Forests Mizoram-Manipur-Kachin Rain Forests, and South Western Ghats Montane Rain Forests. Moist Semi-Evergreen Forests These types of forests are found in areas with Mean Annual Rainfall totals of 2,000 to 2,500 millimeters. There is a mixture of evergreen and deciduous tree species such as Bambusa, Terminalia, Dipterocarpus, Albizzia, Shorea, and Cinnamomum. Tigers, elephants, gaur, clouded leopard, wild water buffalo, Indian rhinocerous, and more than 300 bird species are found here. These forests are found along the western coast, ...

The tropics are regions of Earth that lie roughly in the middle of the globe. The tropics between the latitude lines of the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. The tropics include the Equator and parts of North America, South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. The tropics account for 36 percent of Earth's landmass and are home to about a third of the world's people. The tropics are warm all year, averaging 25 to 28 degrees Celsius (77 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit). This is because the tropics get more exposure to the sun. Because of all that sun, the tropics don't experience the kind of seasons the rest of Earth does. The tropical seasons are broken up into just two: the wet season and the dry season. The amount of rain can vary greatly from one area of the tropics to another. Some areas, like parts of the Amazon Basin in South America, get almost three meters (nine feet) of rain per year. Other areas in the tropics have a drier climate. The Sahara Desert in northern Africa only gets two to 10 centimeters (0.79 to 3.9 inches) of rain per year. The amount of rain a region gets in the tropics directly affects which plant and animal species live there. The baobab tree thrives in the aridtropics of Africa, for instance. The baobab stores water in its huge trunk. On the other extreme is the rainy island of Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean. Sri Lanka gets enough precipitation to support 250 species of frogs.

India has an extremely varied climate, influenced by the country's diverse topography and geography. The country is known for its tropical climate, characterized by hot summers, monsoon rains and cool winters. The climate in India can be broadly divided into four main regions: the northern Himalayan region, the Indo-Gangetic Plain, the southern peninsula, and the coastal regions. The northern Himalayan region, which includes the states of Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh, has a subarctic climate with cold winters and mild summers. During the winter months, the region receives a lot of snowfall, and the average temperature ranges from 5°C to 25°C. The Indo-Gangetic Plain, which includes Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar, has a humid subtropical climate. The region experiences hot summers with temperatures reaching 40°C and cool winters with temperatures ranging from 5°C to 20°C. There is also a monsoon season here, which brings heavy rains from June to September. The southern peninsula has a tropical humid and dry climate. The region experiences hot and humid weather throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 40°C. The region also has two monsoon seasons: the southwest monsoon from June to September and the northeast monsoon from October to December. The coastal regions of India have a tropical maritime climate with high humidity and frequent rainfall. Here it is hot and humid all year round with temperatures between 25°C and 35°C. The monsoon ...

B (BWh) India is home to an extraordinary variety of climatic regions, ranging from tropical in the south to temperate and alpine in the Himalayan north, where elevated regions receive sustained winter snowfall. The nation's climate is strongly influenced by the Himalayas and the Thar Desert. Tropical wet [ ] A tropical rainy climate governs regions experiencing persistent warm or high temperatures, which normally do not fall below 18°C (64°F). India hosts two climatic subtypes- 1) The most humid is the tropical wet climate—also known as 2) In India a The Ganges Delta lies mostly in the tropical wet climate zone: it receives between 1,500 and 2,000mm (59 and 79in) of rainfall each year in the western part, and 2,000 and 3,000mm (79 and 118in) in the eastern part. The coolest month of the year, on average, is January; April and May are the warmest months. Average temperatures in January range from 14 to 25°C (57 to 77°F), and average temperatures in April range from 25 to 35°C (77 to 95°F). July is on average the coldest and wettest month: over 330mm (13in) of rain falls on the delta. Arid and semi-arid regions [ ] To the west, in Gujarat, diverse climate conditions prevail. The winters are mild, pleasant, and dry with average daytime temperatures around 29°C (84°F) and nights around 12°C (54°F) with virtually full sun and clear nights.

Pakistan’s army and civil authorities are planning to evacuate 80,000 people to safety along the southern coast, and thousands in neighboring India sought shelter ahead of Cyclone Biparjoy, which is forecast to slam ashore in the densely populated region later this week, officials said Tuesday. The cyclone is likely the most powerful to hit western India and Pakistan since 2021, and follows devastating floods that Biparjoy was packing maximum sustained winds of 111 mph, according to the India Meteorological Department. It's projected to hit land on Thursday near Jakhau port in the Kutch district of Gujarat. Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority said the cyclone was 292 miles south of Karachi, the capital of Sindh province, on Tuesday morning. "We have shifted 20,580 people from Gujarat’s coastal districts and moved them to relief camps where they will be provided with food, drinking water and other essential material," said C. C. Patel, director of relief in the Gujarat state government. Authorities also banned gatherings along the beaches and shorelines during the cyclone. All ports, including two of India's largest, Mundra and Kandla, have been shut down as a precaution.
