Answers
This physiographic division is the largest
part of the plateau region of India. The shape
of this plateau is roughly triangular. One of
the sides of this triangle is marked by the line
joining Kanyakumari with Rajmahal Hills and
this line passes through the Eastern Ghats. The
second arm is marked by the Satpura Range,
Mahadeo Hills, Maikal Range and the Rajmahal
Hills. The third arm is marked by the Western
Ghats. The area of this Plateau is about 7 lakh
square km and the height ranges from 500 to
1000 m above sea level.
The Western Ghats forms the western
edge of the Peninsular Plateau. It runs parallel
to the Arabian Sea coast. The northern part
of this range is called as Sahyadris. The height
of the Sahyadris increases from north to
south. Anaimudi is a sort of tri-junction of
the Anaimalai Range, the Cardamom Hills
and the Palani Hills. Kodaikanal is a beautiful
hill resort situated on the Palani Hills. Eastern
Ghats run from southwest to northeast form
the eastern edge of this Plateau. This range
is also called as Poorvadri. The Eastern
Ghats join the Western Ghats at the Nilgiri
hills, bordering Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
The Eastern Ghats are not continuous like
the Western Ghats. The rivers of Mahanadi,
Godavari, Krishna, Pennar and Kaveri have
dissected this range at many places.
