Terrain of India

From the Himalayas to the south, it extends to the Indian Ocean, with mountains in the north, Indus-Ganges Plain in the middle and Deccan Plateau and its coastal plains on the east and west sides in the south. The plains account for about 40% of the total area, the mountains only account for 25%, and the plateaus account for 1/3, but the elevation of most of these mountains and plateaus does not exceed 1000 meters.

The terrain is low and gentle, which has an absolute advantage in the whole country. Not only is the transportation convenient, but also with the cooperation of tropical monsoon climate and fertile soil conditions such as alluvial soil and tropical black soil suitable for agricultural production, most of the land can be used for agriculture, and crops can grow all year round, which has unique natural conditions.
