Conclusion on topic: peninsular plateau and coastal region
Answers
Answer:
Peninsular plateau is composed of old crystalline, igneous and metamorphic rocks.
The plateau region lies to the south of the great northern plains. This is the largest physiographic division of India.
Aravalli hills mark the north-western boundary of the plateau region.
Its northern and north-eastern boundaries are marked by the Bundelkhand upland, Kaimur and Rajmahal hills.
The western ghats and the eastern ghats mark the western and eastern boundaries respectively.
The peak of Anaimudi is the highest point in the plateau. Its height is 2,695 m and is located in Anaimalai.
The region lying to north Narmada is called central highlands and region lying to the south of Narmada is called Deccan plateau.
All the major rivers (Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri etc) lying to south of Vindhyas flow eastwards and fall into Bay of Bengal.
Narmada and Tapti situated south of Vindhyas flow westward.
Their movement towards west is due to the presence of a rift valley in the region.
Coastal region is defined as the interface areas between land and sea including large inland lakes.
The Indian coastline can be divided into Gujarat region, west coast, east coast and islands.
The western coastal line has a wide continental shelf and marked by backwaters and mud flats.
East coast is lying low with lagoons, marshes, beaches and deltas rich in mangrove forests.
