4. Bio-geographical
Zones
of India
The following points highlight the top ten bio-geographical zones
in India. The bio-geographical zones are:
1. Trans- Himalayas
2. Himalayas
3. Desert
4. Semi-Arid
5. Western Ghats
6. Deccan Peninsula
7. Gangetic Plain
8. North-East India
9. Islands
10. Coasts.

5. India, being a vast country, shows a great diversity in
climate,
topography and geology and hence the country
is very rich in terms of biological diversity.
India's biological diversity is one of the most significant
in the
world, since India has only 2% of the total landmass of
the world
containing about 6% of the world's known wildlife.
GEOGRAPHY
AND MAJOR
BIOMES OF INDIA

6. An extension of the Tibetan
Plateau, harboring high-altitude
cold desert in Laddakh (J and
K) and Lahaul Spiti (H.P.)
comprising 5.7 per cent of the
country’s landmass.
Trans-
Himalayas

7. Himalayas
The entire mountain chain
running from north-
western to north-eastern
India, comprising a diverse
range of biotic provinces
and biomes, 7,2 per cent of
the country’s landmass.

8. The extremely arid area west of the Aravalli hill
range, comprising both the salty desert of Gujarat
and the sand desert of Rajasthan. 6.9 per cent of the
country’s landmass.
Desert

9. Semi-Arid
The zone between the desert and the
Deccan plateau, including the Aravalli
hill range. 15.6 per cent of the country’s
landmass.

10. Western
Ghats
The hill ranges and plains running along
the western coast line, south of the Tapti
river, covering an extremely diverse
range of biotic provinces and biomes. 5.8
per cent of the country’s landmass.

11. Deccan Plateau Gangnetic Plain North-East Zone
The largest of the zones, covering
much of the southern and south-
central plateau with a
predominantly deciduous
vegetation. 4.3 per cent of the
country’s landmass.
Defined by the Gangas river
system, these plains are relatively
homogenous. 11 per cent of the
country’s landmass.
The plains and non-Himalayan
hill ranges of north eastern India,
with a wide variation of
vegetation. 5.2 per cent of the
country’s landmass.

12. Island
Coast
The Andaman and Nicobar
Islands in the Bay of Bengal,
with a highly diverse set of
biomes. 0.03 per cent of the
country’s landmass.
A large coastline distributed both
to the west and east, with distinct
differences between the two;
Lakshadweep Islands are included
in this with the percent area being
negligible.
