The Peninsular Plateau
As we move southwards, there lies an old landmass of the Peninsular India which is formed of metamorphic rocks. This constitutes the Great Plateau of Peninsular India. The Malwa Plateau and the Deccan Plateau are two distinctive parts of the peninsular plateau.
The Malwa Plateau forms the northern part of peninsular plateau. It is bounded by Aravalli hills and the Vindhyas in the north-western and the south, both these low old mountains forming the sharp edges of this plateau. The third edge of this almost triangular Malwa Plateau, running from west to east, slopes downwards to the plain of Ganga and merges into it. The Narmada valley bounds the Malwa plateau from the south. The north-eastern part of the Malwa Plateau is known for its rich mineral repository.
The Deccan Plateau, which is roughly of a triangular shape as well, extends from the Satpura hills in the north to Kanyakumari in the south. Western edge of the Plateau is formed by the Sahyadri, the Nilgiri, the Annamalai and the Cardamom Hills, the Annamalai and the Cardamom Hills, commonly known as the Western Ghats. The highest peak of the Peninsular India is the Anaimudi peak in Kerala, with a height of 2700 metres (above the sea level). Ooty is a popular tourist destination to be at.
About the rivers of the peninsula, they are not perennial in nature, unlike the Himalayan rivers. Many parts of the Great Plateau are rich in minerals and the famous gold fields of Kolar, the uranium deposits of Tamil Nadu and Jharkhand, the manganese, iron ore and copper deposits of the north-east lie in the regions comprising this Great Plateau. The northern plains are the most underrated of all the physical features of India. These are most comfortably habitable, which makes up for the lack of tourismsu
