Deccan plateau is a igneous rock plateau.
Deccan, the entire southern peninsula of India south of the Narmada River, marked centrally by a high triangular tableland. The name derives from the Sanskrit daksina (“south”). The plateau is bounded on the east and west by the Ghats, escarpments that meet at the plateau's southern tip.
significance:-The Deccan plateau is very rich in minerals and precious stones. The plateau's mineral wealth led many lowland rulers, including those of theMauryan (4th–2nd century BCE) and Gupta (4th–6th century CE) dynasties, to fight over it. Majorminerals found here include coal, iron ore, asbestos, chromite, mica, and kyanite.
