  3. Brahmaputra River • Starts in the Himalayas • Monsoons add water to the valley part of the river • Floods slightly and leaves rich soil behind • Joins with the Ganges River and land is fertile here

  4. Brahmaputra River

  5. Deccan Plateau • Area between 2 mountain ranges • Elevated, flat area of land • Has flat, rocky sections • Also has hillier parts with thin forests • Dry with few rivers • Monsoons provide most of water, soil good for cotton

  7. Eastern and Western Ghats

  8. Ganges River • Flows across North India • Starts in Himalayas • Carries sediments to plains, making it very fertile • Water supply comes from melting ice and snow • Dangerous flooding can occur and destroy crops

  9. Himalaya Mountains • Located on India’s northern border • Mount Everest is here • “Home of snows” • Water from the glaciers feed the rivers • Earthquakes and landslides are common

  10. Himalayas • Mt. Everest goes 5 ½ miles into the sky and 10 feet of snow can fall on the area at one time! Mt. Everest grows a little more each year due to the earth’s movement.

  11. Hindu Kush Mountains • Form border between India and Afghanistan • Not as tall as Himalayas • Many parts are unlivable • Khyber Pass connects Asia to India, which trader and invaders used.

  12. Hindu Kush Moutains

  13. Indus River • Begins in Himalayas • Gets water from melting snow from Hindu Kush mountains • Flows through Pakistan and empties into Arabian Sea • Carries sediments and makes soil fertile
