Explanation:

India has the longest coastline connecting it to Europe, Asia, and African countries.  The coastline has helped India establish close contacts with these counties, which has benefited India socially, diplomatically, and economically.

some of the benefits include

2) Boast to tourism - a long coastline serves as a tourist destination.

3) Fishing- The coastline is a big opportunity for the Indian fishing industry.

4) Agriculture -The ocean influences monsoon rainfall to Indian, enabling it to profit from agricultural activities.

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
