The Peninsular Plateau came into existence with the tectonic shift in Gondwanaland. As a result of this ancient shift, a triangular-shaped plateau was formed and characterized by curved hills, and channels.

Landscaping the southern part of India, the Peninsular plateau covers nearly half of the Indian terrain, which is around 16 lakh km squares. The plateau is triangular in shape and the bottom-most point of the Plateau is Kanyakumari.

Moreover, the Plateau features around 900 m above sea level. And to date, it stands straight and erect accounting to only a few slight immersions for the last hundred million years.

Further to this, this Plateau is a rich conglomerate of several different plateaus as well as various river systems.

Besides the above, the Peninsular Plateau covers the following eight states under its territorial regions:

• Rajasthan
• Maharashtra
• Gujarat
• Telangana
• Karnataka
• Tamil Nadu
• Kerala
• Odisha

Next, the Plateau is also referred to as a tableland constituting crystalline igneous and metamorphic rocks. Additionally, three different mountain ranges, the Aravallis, the Vidhyas, and the Satpuras, surround the Peninsular Plateau.
