The Peninsular Plateau

The Peninsular Plateau:

This is a tableland composed of the old crystalline, Igneous and metamorphic rocks. It was formed due to the breaking up and drifting of Gondawa land; thus it is a part of the oldest landmass. The plateau has broad and shallow rounded hills.

This Plateau consists of two broad divisions: Central Highlands and Deccan Plateau

Central Highlands:

This is the part lying North of the Narmada river which covers most of the Maiwa plateau. The Vindhyan range is bounded by the Central Highlands on the South and the Aravalis on the Northwest. Its further westward extension gradually merges with the sandy and rocky desert Rajasthan. It slopes from South-West to north-East, as indicated by the flow of the Chambal, Sind, Betwa and Ken rivers. Its Eastern edge is consists of areas known as Bundelkhand, Baghelkhand. Chota Nagpur plateau marks the further eastward extension drained by the Damodar river.
