Answer:
The Deccan Plateau:
- The part of the peninsular plateau extending to the south of Vidhyas is called the Deccan Plateau. The western edge of the Deccan Plateau is called western ghats. The highest peak of the peninsular region, Anaimudi is situated in the state of Kerala. It is the highest peak of the Annamalai Hills.
- The eastern edge of the Deccan Plateau is marked by the eastern ghats. Unlike the Himalayas, which have sharp lofty peaks, the hills of the peninsular region are low and they do not have high peaks. They are old hills which have been eroded by various agents of gradation over a long period of time. They do not have any snow field or glaciers.
- A large number of river flow though the Deccan Plateau region. The river Narmada, flowing through a narrow rift valley between the Vindhyas to the north and the Satpura the Deccan Plateau from the Malwa Plateau. To the south of there Satpura range, flows the river Tapi or Tapti. Like Narmada thus river also flows into the Arabian sea. Both Narmada and Tapi do not form any delta. The other major rivers of Deccan Plateau including the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri, flow into the bay of Bengal. All these rivers make deltas near the coast. The Godavari is the longest among the rivers of the Deccan Plateau.
