The Peninsular plateau is a tableland composed of the old
crystalline, igneous and metamorphic rocks. It is formed due to the
breaking and drifting of the Gondwana land and thus, making it a part of
the oldest landmass. The plateau has broad and shallow valleys and
rounded hills. This plateau consists of two broad divisions, namely, the
Central Highlands and the Deccan Plateau. The part of the Peninsular
plateau lying to the north of the Narmada river, covering a major area of
the Malwa plateau, is known as the Central Highlands. The Vindhyan
range is bounded by the Satpura range on the south and the Aravalis on
the northwest. The further westward extension gradually merges with the
sandy and rocky desert of Rajasthan. The flow of the rivers draining this
region, namely the Chambal, the Sind, the Betwa and the Ken is from
southwest to northeast, thus indicating the slope. The Central Highlands
are wider in the west but narrower in the east. The eastward extensions
of this plateau are locally known as the Bundelkhand and Baghelkhand.
The Chotanagpur plateau marks he further eastward extension, drained
by the Damodar river.
The Deccan Plateau is a triangular landmass that lies to the south
of the river Narmada. The Satpura range flanks its broad base in the
north, while the Mahadev, the Kaimur hills and the Maikal range form
its eastern extensions. Locate these hills and ranges in the Physical map
of India. The Deccan Plateau is higher in the west and slopes gently
eastwards. An extension of the Plateau is also visible in the northeast,
locally known as the Meghalaya, Karbi-Anglong Plateau and North
Cachar Hills. It is separated by a fault from the Chotanagpur Plateau.
Threeprominent hill ranges from the west to the east are the Garo, the
Khasi and the Jaintia Hills. The Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats
mark the western and the eastern edges of the Deccan Plateau
respectively. Western Ghats lie parallel to the western coast. They are
continuous and can be crossed through passes only.
