is New Delhi, built in the 20th century just south of the historic hub of
Old Delhi to serve as India’s administrative center. Its government is a
constitutional republic that represents a highly diverse population
consisting of thousands of ethnic groups and likely hundreds of
languages. With roughly one-sixth of the world’s total population,
India is the second most populous country. It is known from
archaeological evidence that a highly sophisticated urbanized culture.
 Himalayan Mountain
The Himalayas is the loftiest mountain in
the world, from the northern limit of India.
That great, geologically young mountain arc
is about 1,550 miles (2,500 km) long,
stretching from the peak of Nanga Parbat
(26,660 feet [8,126 meters]) in the
Pakistani-administered portion of the
Kashmir region to the Namcha Barwa peak
in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China.
Between those extremes, the mountains fall
across India, southern Tibet, Nepal, and
Bhutan. The width of the system varies
between 125 and 250 miles.
 Deccan plateau
The Deccan Plateau in southern India is
located between the Western Ghats and the
Eastern Ghats and is loosely defined as the
peninsular region between these ranges that
is south of the Narmada river. To the north,
it is bounded by the Satpura and Vindhya
Ranges. The Deccan’s average elevation is
about 2,000 feet, sloping generally eastward.
Its principal rivers—the Godavari, Krishna,
and Kaveri flow from the Western Ghats
eastward to the Bay of Bengal.
 Thar desert
The Thar Desert, also known as the Great
Indian Desert, is an arid region in the
northwestern part of the Subcontinent that
covers an area of 200,000 km2 and forms a
natural boundary between India and
Pakistan. It is the world's 20th-largest desert
and the world's 9th-largest hot subtropical
desert. More than 60% of the desert lies in
the Indian state of Rajasthan; the portion in
India also extends into Gujarat, Punjab, and
Haryana.
 Bhabar plains
The Bhabar plains are located to the south of
Shivalik from Jammu to Assam. The breadth
or width of the Bhabar plains is more in the
western region as compared to the eastern
region. The bhabar tract comprises gravel and
un-assorted sediment deposits. This sediment
present in the soil is deposited by rivers
descending from the Himalayan mountains.
This region is not good for cultivation. The
area is popular with big trees with large roots.
 Andaman and nicobar islands
Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a union
territory, in India, consists of two groups of
islands at the southeastern edge of the Bay of
Bengal. The peaks of a submerged mountain
range, the Andaman Islands, and their
neighbors to the south, the Nicobar Islands,
form an arc stretching southward for some
620 miles between Myanmar and the island
of Sumatra, Indonesia. This Island is one of
the major attractions in India. The beauty of
this place is rich coral reefs and fringed
shores.
 UAE
The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates along the
eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. The largest of these emirates, Abu
Dhabi comprises more than three-fourths of the federation’s total land
area. Dubai is one of the region’s most vital commercial and financial
centers, housing hundreds of multinational corporations Sharjah, Ajman,
Umm al-Quwain, and Ras al-Khaimah also occupy the peninsula, whose
protrusion north toward Iran forms the Strait of Hormuz linking the
Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman. The federation’s seventh member,
Fujairah faces the Gulf of Oman and is the only member of the union
with no frontage along the Persian Gulf.
 Jebal hafeet mountain
Jebel Hafeet is rising to a height of 1,249 meters,
this skyline-dominating peak is Abu Dhabi’s
highest, and the UAE’s second tallest. Standing
guard on the borders of Oman, this Al Ain
mountain has been weathered over millennia,
with significant fossil discoveries made in the
area being vital pieces in the jigsaw that makes
up the city’s ancient history. Jebel Hafit Desert
Park not only preserves the area’s rich history but
also its unique biodiversity, encouraging visitors
to experience this dynamic landscape up close
and understand how it has changed over millions
of years.

borders with Wales to its west and Scotland to its north. The Irish Sea lies
northwest and the Celtic Sea the southwest. It is separated from
continental Europe by the North Sea to the east and the English Channel to
the south. The country covers five-eighths of the island of Great Britain,
which lies in the North Atlantic, and includes over 100 smaller islands,
such as the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight.
 Scafell Pike mountain
Scafell Pike is a mountain at an elevation of
978 meters (3,209 ft) above sea level. Its
main ridge is a roller coaster of rocky
summits and narrow cols buttressed by a
multitude of towering crags and deeply
indented gills. Its flanks twist and turn in a
seemingly illogical manor extending their
influence all the way out to Langdale,
Borrowdale, Wasdale, and Eskdale. High,
wild, and rocky the main crests always throw
up a challenge, regardless of whether it’s the
middle of summer under blistering blue skies
or a short winter’s day with roaring winds
and driven snow.
 East Durham Plateau
In the east, the limestone East Durham Plateau
—which reaches an elevation of more than
700 feet (213 meters) at its southwestern edge
forms a gently rolling landscape. Separating
these upland areas are the glacial drift-covered
lowlands of the Wear valley. The Tees
lowlands extend across the south of the county.
he topography supports varied forms of
agriculture. In the western uplands, thin soils
and ill-drained peat permit only sheep grazing,
but stock raising is possible in the valleys. In
the lower eastern region, mixed farming,
especially dairying, predominates.
 Dungeness Desert
Dungeness is a headland on the coast of
Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle
beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It
shelters a large area of low-lying land,
Romney Marsh. Dungeness spans the
Dungeness Nuclear Power Station, the
hamlet of Dungeness, and an ecological
site at the same location. It lies within the
civil parish of Lydd. The stark wild beauty
and distinctive character of this shingle
desert engender feelings of awe, wonder
and curiosity.
 Salisbury Plain
Salisbury Plain, one of Great Britain’s best-
known open spaces, consists of a plateau-like
area covering about 300 square miles (775
square km), in the county of Wiltshire,
England. The largely treeless tract, drained to
the south by the River Avon and its tributaries,
is developed upon chalk. Its northern edge is
defined by an escarpment overlooking the Vale
of Pewsey. Its other boundaries are less clear.
The area was settled in early times and abounds
in prehistoric monuments, of which the best
known is Stonehenge.
 Mersea Island
Mersea Island is an island in Essex, England,
in the Blackwater and Colne estuaries to the
southeast of Colchester. Its name comes from
the Old English word meresig, meaning
"island of the pool" and thus is tautological.
The island is split into two main areas, West
Mersea and East Mersea, and connected to
the mainland by the Strood, a causeway that
can flood at high tide. The island lies 9 miles
(14 km) south of Colchester and 26 miles (42
km) east of the county town, Chelmsford
