South Asia is a diverse region with varied landscapes, including the Himalayas, fertile plains, and the Deccan Plateau. It is home to a significant portion of the world's population. The region's geography is shaped by tectonic activity, leading to the formation of the Himalayas. Major rivers like the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra originate here, supporting agriculture. The climate is heavily influenced by monsoons, which bring seasonal rains crucial for farming. South Asia's agriculture is adapted to these climatic changes, with rice being a staple crop. The region's natural resources and landscapes must be managed wisely for sustainable development.
