    The Geography of India Indias northern border starts on the southern edge of the continent of Asia. The Himalaya is a mountain system which blocks off India from the rest of Asia. This makes India a subcontinent. The Ganges and Indus Rivers are in northern India. The Ganges runs southeast into the Indian Ocean. The Indus flows southwest into the Arabian Sea. Their water comes from melting snow in the Himalaya. The Deccan Plateau is south of the river valleys. It is dry and hilly. The coastal areas have plains, or flat land, that is good for farming. Indias climate, or usual weather, has monsoons, or strong winds. The winter monsoon blows in cold, dry air from the mountains. The summer monsoon brings warm, wet air from the Arabian Sea. Summer monsoons bring the rainy season. If the rain comes in time, the crops will be good. If the rains are late, then there may be a drought, or a long dry period that can ruin crops. 1.
