Answer:
Lands
on the basis of relief features can be broadly categorised as mountains with
very high to high altitudes plateaus with moderate altitudes and plains with
lower altitude. In India 30% area are mountainous 27% are plateaus and 43% are plains,
all of these have specific advantages to be utilised.
(i) Mountains are source to many streams and
rivers, some of them are perennial. These regions have
very high potential for hydro electricity productions, etc and also sites for eco-tourism.
(ii) Plateaus are mostly laden with minerals, fossil fuels
and forest etc so are economically most productive.
(iii) Plains are most important land resource for human
beings. These are fertile and most of the food crops, etc are grown here and
also for economic use it is exploited for development of factories, roads, etc.
But all these advantages should be exploited sustainably.
