Which major physiographic division lies south of the Himalayas?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Northern Plains

The direct answer is B: the Northern Plains lie south of the Himalayas. India’s major physiographic divisions have a broad north-to-south arrangement. The Himalayas occupy the far north, and immediately to their south are the Northern Plains, built largely from alluvium deposited by the Indus, Ganga and Brahmaputra river systems. Thus B is correct. A, the Indian Desert, lies mainly to the southwest of the Northern Plains, especially west of the Aravallis, so it is not the main division directly south of the Himalayas. C, the island groups, are in the surrounding seas and are not south of the Himalayas as an adjoining mainland division. D, the Western Coast, is a narrow coastal strip along the Arabian Sea, far to the southwest. Memory cue: Himalaya above, Northern Plains below.
