Well, I know of no rule saying that a country must be wider than it is tall.
You might like to have a look at the maps of Chile or Argentina, for example.
In the particular case of India, however, the answer might have some of its roots
in the relationship several decades ago among India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
There are five oceans that span the Earth, which cover more than seventy percent of its surface. Two of these oceans, the Southern Ocean and the Arctic Ocean, do not extent north and south of the equator.
India is located north of the equator.
The latitude extent of India is approximately 8 degrees 4 minutes N to 37 degrees 6 minutes N. The longitude extent of India is approximately 68 degrees 7 minutes E to 97 degrees 25 minutes E. The latitude represents how far north or south a location is from the equator, while the longitude represents how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian.
This is useful to know or identify the geographical location of India on the map and know the appropriate time zone.
The major mountain ranges in the US and Canada extend from north to south.
Yes. The northernmost extent of England is about 55.8° north, while the Shetland Islands extend to about 60.83° north.
It is because as we move towards the poles, the extent between two longitudes decreases, that means they come closer and closer. This is however not the case with latitudes.Therefore though the numerical difference between latitudes and longitudes of India is same, it covers more land from North to South as compared to from East to West.
it is because there is much difference between latitudes than the longitudes soare between latitudes increses but the area between the logitudes is lesser in comaparison and that is why the area fron north to south is more .
Cause we have to minus the two eastern and western most extremes of India ! And its the same for north and south - by kitty
The great north-south extent of India results in a diverse range of climates, cultures, and topographies across the country. This diversity has led to a rich tapestry of languages, traditions, and landscapes in India. It also presents challenges in terms of governance, infrastructure development, and socio-economic disparities between regions.
North America, Europe, and Asia all extend north from the equator.
He took over the Empire pretty much as it was. His attempts to extend it in the east to India appear to have failed, and his plans to extend it in Europe and North Africa were curtailed by his death.
The longitudinal extent of the state of Maharashtra located in India are eighteen point nine-six degrees North. The latitudinal extent of the state of Maharashtra is seventy two point eight two degrees East.
My Answer is West Coast of India. And it can never fall on North for sure. To some extent according to geographical locations in India. Its more on South West & not exactly South. But since mumbians speak Marathi, Hindi this question arises with most south indians. Hope this clarifies.

Its in the north-east of India. Region between Nepal and Jammu & Kashmir. Himalayas are also in Nepal and also extend to China and Bhutan. I think that soome of it's part is also in china.
