Why INDIA is famous?

India is often referred to as a subcontinent of Southern Asia owing to its distinct and vast landmass. Surrounded by sea on three sides, the majestic Himalayas separates it from the rest of mainland Asia. India is famous for its ancient history, varied landscapes and diverse culture.

How is lake formed?

Lakes are formed due to the action of glaciers and ice sheets. Such lakes are formed when glaciers erode the land creating a depression. Many lakes in the Himalayan region are of glacial origin. Oxbow lakes are crescent in shape and are formed when a meandering river is cut off from the rest of the river.
