Compare all three of your maps.
a) How do physical features, climate and elevation relate to each other?
Physical features such as deserts are located on lower ground, and therefore their climate is warmer. Mountains are higher elevated, and they have a cold, icy climate. Depending on how elevated the land is the climate is going to change. The lower the land, the warmer the climate. Physical features such as deserts and valleys have a much warmer climate than mountains and plateaus.
b) What conclusions can you draw?
(Think about natural resources, climate/weather, and human settlement.)
Early humans would live in places where they had fertile land, easy food supply, a warm climate, and resources they needed. Such a place in India were the rivers, and the Ganges and Indus rivers were great fertilizers. They come out of the Himalayas into the Northern highlands, making the northern highlands one of the most fertile places on earth. Humans settled in places in which a good civilization could then grow, developing into India's cities today.
