Detailed Solution

The position of India latitude-wise is 8°4'N and 37°6'N.
India is a vast country that encompasses the entire northern hemisphere. The Indian landmass' latitudinal and longitudinal extent separated the country into two sections, separating it from the tropical tropics. The mainland stretches between scopes 84′N and 376′N. The Tropic of Cancer (2330′N) roughly splits the country into two parts. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands, as well as the Lakshadweep Islands, are located to the southeast and southwest of the terrain, respectively, in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. India's entire geological land mass makes up about 2.4 percent of the world's total geological landmass.
