Andaman Islands
The Andaman Islands are a group of Indian Ocean archipelagic islands in the Bay of Bengal, between the Indian peninsula to the west and Burma to the north and east. Most of the islands are part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands Union Territory of India, while a small number in the north of the archipelago belong to Burma. 12 00 N92 45 E is the longitude and longitude of these islands.
Paragraph on the topography of the land:
Flat? Mountainous? Plateau like?
The climate is typical of tropical islands of similar latitude. It is always warm (ranging between what temperatures?), but with sea-breezes. Rainfall is irregular, but usually dry during the north-east, and very wet during the south-west, monsoons (what is the average annual rainfall that the islands receive?). Will be good to include a chart to show the following:

The varied natural resources in Andaman and Nicobar islands have metamorphosed the twin islands into one of the most recurrently visited spots in India. The blanket of forests that extends across the terrain of Andaman and Nicobar approximately covers 86% of its total land. The forests constitute such an integral wing of the natural resource of Andaman and Nicobar that it houses 96 Sanctuaries and 9 National Parks which is a spectacular feat in itself. * Livestock
