(a) Aravalli
Stretch from North East to South West for 800 km between Delhi and Palanpur(Gujrat). Oldest Folded mountain.
Composed of: quartzites, gneisses and schists of Pre Cambrian period
Highest Peak: Guru Sikhar(1722m)
Pass: The Goranghat Pass-> separates Gurusikhar from Mount Abu
Jagara Hills: The Northwest of Udaipur, the Aravallis
Great Boundary Fault: separates Aravallis from the Vindhyan Mountains
(b) The Malwa Plateau
Border: North->Aravallis, South->Vindyan Range & East-> Bundelkhand Plateau
Drainage: 2 drainage systems-> Towards the Arabian Sea(Narmada & Mahi) and towards the Bay of Bengal(Chambal, Sind, Betwa and Ken) joining Yamuna River
2. The South Central Highlands
The Vindhyan Range extends from Jobat(Gujrat) and Chittorgarh(Rajasthan) to Sasaram in Bihar. Extends: 1050 km; General Elevation: 450 to 600 m.
Maikal Range : Connect between the Vindyas and the Satpura mountains
(a) The Bundelkhand (Vindhyachal Plateau)
Boundary: North->Yamuna river, South-> Vindhyans, North-West-> Chambal, South East-> Panna-Ajaigarh Range
Coverage: Districts of Banda, Hamirpur, Jalaun, Jhansi and Lalitpur of Uttar Pradesh; Datia, Tikamgarh, Chhatarpur and Panna of Madhya Pradesh
Senile(having been reduced by erosion to a featureless plain that stands everywhere at base level.) Topography
Rivers: Betwa, Dhasan and Ken -> craved out steep gorges, rapids, cataracts & waterfalls
(b) The Vindhyachal-Baghelkhand or Vindyachal Plateau
The plateaux of Satna, Rewa(MP) and Mirzapur(UP)
Elevation: 150 to 1200 m(uneven relief)
towards south lies Narmada-Son trough (rift valley) characterized by the Archaeans and Bijwar Series
Meghalaya Plateau & Mikir Hills
Meghalaya Plateau & Mikir Hills: Consisting of Garo, Khasi, Jayantia Hills & the outlying Mikir and Rengma Hills—> Part of Indian Peninsular(Don’t Confuse: not Himalayan part or extension) separated by Malda Gap(Malda is in West Bengal, famous for Mango)
Mawsynram: Records the world’s highest rainfall
Highest Elevations:
Meghalaya Plateau: Shillong Peak(1823 m)
Garo Hills: Norkek(1515 m)
Mikir Hills: Detached from Meghalaya Plateau surrounded by Plains in 3 sides. Southern range of Mikir Hills-> Rengma Hills(900 m)
Mikir Hills are characterised by Radial Drainage with Dhansiri and Jamuna being the main rivers
