Answer 1

Answer:

$(1)$ The Tropic of Cancer, which is also referred to as the Northern Tropic

$(2)$ Old crystalline, igneous, and metamorphic rocks make up the tableland known as the Peninsular plateau

Explanation:

$(1)$ Tropic of cancer:

The Tropic of Cancer, which is also referred to as the Northern Tropic, is the most northerly circle of latitude on Earth at which the Sun can be directly overhead. This occurs on the June solstice when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun to its maximum extent.

$(2)$ Peninsular plateau:

Old crystalline, igneous, and metamorphic rocks make up the tableland known as the Peninsular plateau. It belongs to the oldest landmass because it was created by the fracturing and drifting of the Gondwana region. The plateau contains rounded hills and wide, shallow valleys. The Central Highlands and the Deccan Plateau are the two main sections of this plateau.

(a) Central Highlands: The Central Highlands are a significant portion of the Malwa plateau that is located on the Peninsular plateau to the north of the Narmada river.

(b) The Deccan Plateau: A triangular land mass known as the Deccan Plateau is located south of the Narmada River. Its broad base is flanked to the north by the Satpura range, while its eastern expansions are made up of the Mahadev, Kaimur Hills, and Maikal Range.
