Features of the Peninsular Plateau

Features of the Peninsular Plateau

Together with the southern edge of the Great Plains of Northern India, with its base, the triangle in size is quite large. The top of the triangle plateau is in Kanniyakumari.
It covers a total area of 16 lakh square kilometers (total India is 3.2 million sq. Km).
The average elevation of the plateau is 600-900 meters from the sea level (area varies from region to region).

Most peninsular rivers flow from west to east, which indicates normal slope.

Narmada-Tapi are exceptions which flows from one direction to the east to the west (the rift is due to the different boundary (go back to talks of plates).
The peninsular plateau is one of the oldest underground earthquakes.
It is a highly stable block, mostly composed of Archean Guinness and Skist (Rock System).
It is a steady gradient that has undergone structural changes since its formation.
Since some hundred million years, the Peninsular Block has been a land area and has never been submerged under the sea except for some places.
The mountainous mountains surrounded by the valleys and valleys of the Peninsular Plateau River, the aggregation of several small plateaus.
Minor Plateau in the Peninsular Plateau

Marwar Plateau or Mewar Plateau

It is a plateau of eastern Rajasthan. [Marwar ground is in the west of Aravali while Marwar Plateau is in the east].
The average height is 250-500 meters above sea level and it is slope towards the east.
It is made of sandstone, styles and limestone of Vindhian era.
Bans river flows along its tributaries [Berch river, Khari rivers] in the Aravali mountain and flows towards north-west in Chambal river. Horizontal activity of these rivens appears like a rolling plain over the plateau.
[Rolling Plain: 'Rolling Meadows' are not completely flat: There is slight increase and fall in the form of land. Former: United States Primaries]

Central India is also called Pathar or Central India plateau.

It is in the east of Marwar or Mewar Upland.
Most plateaus contain a basin of Chambal river which flows into a valley valley.
Kali Sindh flowing through Rana Pratap Sagar, flowing through the Mewar Plateau and the permit flowing from Madhya Pradesh and Parbati is its main helper.
This is a rolling plateau with circular hills made of sandstone. Thick jungle grow here.
In the north there are the valleys of the Chambal river or Budland [they are specific to the Chambal river basin] {dry underground}.
Bundelkhand Upland

Yamuna river in the north, Bharat Bharat Pattar in the west, Vindhyan Scarplands for the east, South and South-East and Malwa Plateau.
This old dissection (divided by many deep valleys) includes suburban granite and gannis of 'Bundelkhand Ganis'.

Spreads in five districts of Uttar Pradesh and four districts of Madhya Pradesh.
The average height of 300-600 meters above sea level, this area slows down from the Vindhyan Scarpe to Yamuna river.
The area is marked by a series of granite and sandstone hills (small hills).
The erosion work of rivers flowing here has turned it into an incomplete surface like wave and made it suitable for cultivation.

This area is characterized by chenille topography.

Malwa Plateau

The Malwa Plateau constitutes a triangle based on the Aravali range in the west and the central India in Pathar in the north and the Vindhya Hills surrounded by Bundelkhand in the east.
There are two systems of drainage in this plateau; On the side of one Arab sea (Narmada, Tapi and Mahi), and another towards the Bay of Bengal (Chambal and Betwa, included in the Yamuna).
In the north it is extracted by Chambal and right banks such as Kali, Sindh and Parabati. It also includes upper courses of Sindh, Ken and Betwa.
It is made of extensive lava flows and covered with black clay.
