Malwa Plateau is found in the western part of Madhya Pradesh. It lies 300 to 600 meters high above the sea level and wrap up 18 districts of Madhya Pradesh either in complete or of in partial. 
Black soil is found on the Malwa Plateau. That's why it looks like a black colored slate.
The reason behind the presence of black colored soil on this plateau is that this plateau is made up of basalt rocks of Deccan trap. Black soil is the result of the erosion of basalt rocks.
