DISCOVER INDIA'S GEOMORPHOLOGY by Hugo https://padlet.com/09043_casp/dyrm6tifpmec DAVID BAGÁN, HUGO PARDO and ORIOL PARRAMON en-us 2017-06-13 07:13:40 UTC 2024-06-01 08:00:32 UTC hello@padlet.com Thar desert 09071_casp https://padlet.com/09043_casp/dyrm6tifpmec/wish/176207174 In western India, the Thar Desert is the seventh-largest desert in the world,. With extremely severe temperatures, the Thar is one of the most inhospitable parts of the country. Winter temperatures are regularly around freezing, and summer temperatures can surge to more than 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Annual rainfall is condensed into a few months of monsoons in late summer. The Thar Desert spans the Indian states of Gujarat, Rajasthan and Punjab and extends into Pakistan to the west. Given the extreme climate, the Thar has plentiful fauna and flora, with around 141 known species of native birds.
 
This desert has been formed by the weathering and by external agents as wind.

External agents as running water or seas have formed this beach. External processes as erosion and deposition have formed this beach also.

The Himalayan range has many of the Earth's highest peaks, including the highest, Mount Everest. The Himalayas include over fifty mountains exceeding 7,200 metres (23,600 ft) in elevation, including ten of the fourteen 8000m peaks. By contrast, the highest peak outside Asia – Aconcagua, in the Andes – is 6,961 metres (22,838 ft) tall.]]> 2017-06-13 08:06:00 UTC https://padlet.com/09043_casp/dyrm6tifpmec/wish/176208112 Geological Origin of Himalaya 09560_casp https://padlet.com/09043_casp/dyrm6tifpmec/wish/176208419 Over the past 65 million years, powerful global plate-tectonic forces have moved the Earth’s crust to form the band of Eurasian mountain ranges—including the Himalayas—that stretch from the Alps to the mountains of Southeast Asia.
During the Jurassic Period (about 201 to 145 million years ago), a deep crustal downwarp—the Tethys Ocean—bordered the entire southern fringe of Eurasia, then excluding the Arabian Peninsula and the Indian subcontinent. About 180 million years ago, the old supercontinent of Gondwana (or Gondwanaland) began to break up. One of Gondwana’s fragments, the lithospheric plate that included the Indian subcontinent, pursued a northward collision course toward the Eurasian Plate during the ensuing 130 to 140 million years.
External agents
The Himalayas is created by some external agents as wind, ice, running water and subterranean water.

The river flows through Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal. Upon merging with the Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers, it forms a river delta that is 200 miles across. Hindus attribute holy significance to the river's water, going to designated bathing places along the river's course, known as tirthas. It is also a common tradition to cast the ashes of the deceased into the river .
External agents and external processes
The ganges river is formed by external agents and external processes like running water, transport and weathering.

On the journey of River Indrabati through dense vegetation on the plain in Chahattisgarh, suddenly the water of the flows drops with a height of 93 feet and build this magnificent waterfalls at Chitrakoot. It is just 38 kilometer west of Jagdalpur.

External agents as running water formed this lanform. External processes as erosion formed this landform also.
