2.1 Geography
North East India is the eastern-most region of India. It comprises the North East region (Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura) and Eastern Himalayas (Arunachal Pradesh). The Northeast India can be physiographically categorized into the Eastern Himalayas, Northeast Hills, Brahmaputra and the Barak Valley Plains. Northeast India has a predominantly humid sub-tropical climate with hot, humid summers, severe monsoons, and mild winters. Along with the west coast of India, this region has some of the Indian sub-continent's last remaining rain forests, which support diverse flora and fauna and several crop species. Each of the State i.e. Assam, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura and Meghalaya covers an area of 30,285 km2, 22,327 km2, 21,087 km2, 16,579 km2, 10,491 km2, 22,430 km2 respectively. The region is covered by the mighty Brahmaputra-Barak river systems and their tributaries. Geographically, apart from the Brahmaputra, Barak and Imphal valleys and some flat lands in between the hills of Meghalaya and Tripura, the remaining two-thirds of the area is hilly terrain interspersed with valleys and plains; the altitude varies from almost sea-level to over 7,000 m above MSL. The region's high rainfall, averaging

The Himalayas to the north, the Meghalaya plateau to the south and the hills of Nagaland, Mizoram and Manipur to the east influences the climate. It is the rainiest region in the country, with many places receiving an average annual precipitation of 2,000 mm, which is mostly concentrated in summer during the monsoon season. Andaman & Nicobar Islands has tropical climate. Andaman and Nicobar Islands has a humid weather and has no winter season. Rain season lasts for 180 days in a year. The southwest monsoon touches the Indian soil first in the Andamans and then proceeds towards the Indian
Freshwater is also looked at as floodplain management is observed. The patterns of environmental quality are also examined. My hypothesis is that pH levels and drainage account for the significant differences in vegetation between the areas. This is because both drainage and pH levels play a role in what type of soil is available. The pH level determines the types of plants that grow and the drainage effects the type of soil present, which influences the
The British improved and modernized India which formed their efficiency that they have today. They established railroads and bridges so people can travel thru their country easier. The British also ingrained a fair trading system between India and British. Some may claim that it was not fair because the Indian textiles were getting sold less and less. From 1790 and so on the sales of Indian textiles progressively declined (Doc. 6).

All the states in the North experienced four distinct seasons. The New England coast has hundreds of bays and coves that are great for use as harbors. Boston became busy seaports because of fishing and ship building. The North goes from freezing winters to hot summers. Unlike the North, the South states go through mild winters and very long humid summers.
North: Political- Peoples ' political opinions commonly clashed because of overall change in both social and industrial growth. Labor unions began in the Northeast. For example, people working with steel and people in the mine caves were the first to strike as a way of bartering with business owners. Social-
Texas’s geography is diverse throughout its regions. Texas has 4 regions, the mountain and basin, the Coastal plains, the North Central plains, and the Great plains. Each region is a different type of geography unique to its own. These regions also have their own big cities that have their own characteristics. Every city has its own focus on what they want to make in that city.
Montreal, the home of hockey, is the best city to do for the 5 Themes of Geography. I mean it is Canada, who doesn’t like Canada. Like I mentioned before, the five themes go perfectly well with this city. Montreal is in the province of Quebec.
Some Southeast landforms are the Appalachian Mountains, plains, and plateaus! A few West landforms are mountains, valleys, canyons, and lakes. The West region natural resources are fish, oil, coal, silver, gold, and copper! Copper is used to make pennies.
Winters generally have few extended periods of continuous freezing temperatures and relatively few periods of snow fall. The forest free season is approximately 200 days long. Rainfall is moderate, averaging four to five inches per month. March and December are the wettest months, while June, August, October, and November are the driest months on average. Heavy rainfall of over seven or eight inches occasionally fall in one month, resulting in excessive soil erosion at fields that are left exposed.
The North had cold winters and hot summers compared to the South. Many Northern states like Maine had really short growing times and long, cold winters that were bad for crops. The more Southern states like Ohio were better for crops as they had a longer growing season. The geography of
The climate in the Middle region is gentler than in the New England. Comparatively, they also have four seasons, however, the winters are not as cold as in New England. The summers are not as hot as in the southern region.
I read the book The Indian School by Gloria Whelan and the genre is Biography. In my book there is 96 pages.

When it rains, the water will flow from the hills to the lower area and then stagnant. Eventually the water will increase and flash floods will occur. 2.8.3 River Erosion River
