Landforms and Life
Chapter 3 of the Class 6 NCERT social science textbook, Exploring Society: India and Beyond, reads the face of the earth through mountains, plains and plateaus. Learners compare the Himalayas, the northern plains and the Deccan plateau, see how rivers carve valleys and build deltas, and understand how altitude and slope shape climate, farming and settlement. The chapter shows why people cluster on fertile plains, how hill life adapts to thin air and terraced fields, and why caring for landforms matters.
