Study Chapter Details
The chapter “Physical Features of India” in the UP Board Class 9th Social Science Book (Geography) describes the diverse landforms that shape India’s natural beauty and geographical identity. It explains how the country’s landscape is divided into six major physical divisions — The Himalayas, The Northern Plains, The Peninsular Plateau, The Indian Desert, The Coastal Plains, and The Islands.
Each region has unique features and significance — the Himalayas protect the north, the Northern Plains support agriculture, the Plateau is rich in minerals, and the Coasts and Islands enhance trade and tourism. This chapter also helps students understand the geological formation of India and its importance in economic and environmental contexts.
