Location India has all major physical features of the Earth, i.e., mountains, plains, deserts, plateaus, and islands. In India, the soil colour varies from place to place as it is formed from different types of rocks. India has varied physical features whose formation can be explained on the basis of the ‘Theory of Plate Tectonics’. According to the theory of Plate Tectonics, the seven major and minor plates that form the Earth’s crust keep moving, causing stress and thus leading to folding, faulting and volcanic activity. The physical features of India can be grouped under the following physiographic divisions: • The Himalayan Mountains or the Northern Mountains • The Northern Plains or the Indo-Gangetic Plains • The Peninsular Plateau • The Great Indian Desert • The Coastal Plains • The Islands The Himalayan Mountains The Himalayas are young-fold mountains which are the loftiest and one of the most rugged mountain barriers of the world.
