Answer 1

Hi

The black soil area in the peninsular plateau is called the Deccan Trap. This is formed by volcanic activities, so the rocks are igneous. These rocks have been denuded over time and are responsible for the formation of the black soil.

The name Deccan is derived from the Sanskrit word 'dâkshin', meaning “south.” The west-central parts of the Indian peninsula are dominated by flood basalts which form a prominent terraced landscape; this form of flood basalt is called 'trap', after the Dutch-Swedish word 'trappa', meaning 'stairs.
