Well-watered northern plains, the dry Deccan plateau, and the coastal plains on either side of the Deccan
The Indian subcontinent is divided into three major zones

India is considered a
“subcontinent” because of its
size.
It is a part of Asia. In the
north are high mountains, the
Himalayas and Hindu Kush. In
the center - the Deccan Plateau.

TTYN: Identify different weather events that could have an affect on a people and a nation
The Deccan lacks water resources
Much of the region is arid, unproductive, and sparsely populated
Coastal plains, similar to the northern plain, receive a sufficient
amount of water, plus have the added benefit of the coast for trade and
fishing.

What is the message within this poem?
“The summer sun, who robbed the
pleasant nights.
And plundered all the water of the
rivers.
And burned the earth, and scorched
the forest-trees
Is now hiding; and the rain-clouds,
Spread thick across the sky to track him
down.
Hunt for the criminal with lightning
flashes.”

Geography
Monsoon – a seasonal wind
Winter – blows from the NE, bringing with it hot, dry air that
withers crops
May-June – the wet summer monsoon blows from the SW. Packed
with moisture from the Indian Ocean.
The monsoon has shaped Indian life.
Rain for crops; If later, famine and starvation may occur
