The plateau region represents the ancient shield of the earth's crust. This was formed during pre-cambrian era (before 570 million years from present). The ancient shield was formed out of volcanic eruptions and contains solidified magma. Magama is a rich reserve of many minerals which are of commercial significance today.

During the carboniferous era (about 320 million years back) huge tracts of forest regions got submerged under the earth and formed the coal seams/ fuel reserves of today.
