India
India's topography is a tapestry of diverse terrains, each contributing to the country's unique geographical identity. In the north, the majestic Himalayas form a formidable barrier, with towering peaks like Kangchenjunga reaching elevations of 8,586 meters (28,169 feet), making it the highest point in India. Descending southward, the landscape transitions into the expansive Indo-Gangetic Plain, a fertile alluvial stretch nourished by rivers such as the Ganges and Brahmaputra, supporting dense agricultural activities. Central India is dominated by the Deccan Plateau, characterized by its elevated flatlands, rolling hills, and rich mineral deposits. Flanking the plateau are the Western and Eastern Ghats—continuous and discontinuous mountain ranges, respectively—that run parallel to India's coastlines, influencing monsoonal patterns and harboring rich biodiversity. The western frontier is marked by the Thar Desert's undulating sands, while the eastern and western coastal plains provide narrow, fertile stretches along the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. This intricate blend of mountains, plains, plateaus, deserts, and coastal regions underscores India's vast and varied terrain.
