Question

What are the features of the Indian group of islands?

Answer 1

Hint: Any area of subcontinental land surrounded by water is referred to as an island or isle. Islets, skerries, cays, and keys are terms used to describe very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls. A small island off the shore is called a holm, and an island in a river or a lake is termed an eyot or ait. Chars are sedimentary islands in the Ganges delta.

Complete answer:
India is divided into 29 states and 7 union territories on a political level. Delhi is India's national capital. Two of the seven union territories are Indian island groupings. India's two island groups are the Lakshadweep and Andaman and the Nicobar Islands.

Lakshadweep: The Arabian Sea is home to the Lakshadweep Islands. Lakshadweep is an Indian island group made mainly of coral islands. These are coral islands off the coast of Kerala, God's own kingdom. They are coral reefs known as atolls, which are circular or horseshoe-shaped reefs.
Lakshadweep, after Sikkim, is India's smallest populous territory. Lakshadweep is the smallest Union Territory in India. Kavaratti is the capital of India's Union Territory of Lakshadweep. Lakshadweep is a 36-island archipelago in the Arabian Sea that spans 78,000 square kilometres. The population of this island is estimated to be around 65,000 people.

Andaman and Nicobar Island: The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are located in the Bay of Bengal to the southeast of the Indian mainland. The cultures and customs of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are unique. The island features a lot of beaches, which attract a lot of people.
The capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands is Port Blair. The iconic cellular jail is one of the city's most well-known features. The climate at Port Blair is tropical monsoon. Hinduism is the most widely practised religion, followed by Christianity and Islam. The most widely spoken language is Bengali. Other languages spoken by the inhabitants include Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. The main source of revenue is tourism.

Indira point in Andaman: Indira Point, located on the island of Andaman and Nicobar, is India's southernmost point. It is a settlement on Nicobar Island, with the point's exact location in the Great Nicobar Tehsil. Indira Point was named after India's first female prime leader, Indira Gandhi.

Note: Tectonic forces or volcanic eruptions generated almost all of Earth's islands. Artificial (man-made) islands do exist, such as Kansai International Airport, which is located in Osaka Bay off the Japanese island of Honshu. Natural or synthetic materials can be used to construct artificial islands.
