The Malwa Plateau is the part lying to the north of the Narmada. It is flat with rich black soil. Then there is the Chota Nagpur Plateau which has many mineral deposits like mica, manganese and iron ore. The last in the group is the Deccan Plateau. The soil here is uneven and not very deep.
Climate in the Plateaus:
The summer is hot and dry in these regions. Hot winds and dust storms are common in May and June. In the monsoons, rainfall along the Eastern and Western Ghats is heavy. The rest of the area receives moderate rainfall. In most parts of southern India, the winter season is short and mild. People need to wear only light woolen clothes during this season.
