India is bounded by the young fold mountains in the northwest, north and north east. South of about 22° north latitude, Indian Landmass begins to taper, and extends towards the Indian Ocean, dividing it into two seas, the Arabian Sea on the west and the Bay of Bengal on its east. The Peninsular shape of India makes climate of southern India differ from that of Northern India. Vast sandy expanse of Marusthal in Rajasthan and marshy great Rann of Kachchh make western boundary of the India.
