The Deccan Plateau is a large plateau in western and southern India. It rises to 100 metres in the north, and to more than 1,000 metres in the south, forming a raised triangle within the south-pointing triangle of the Indian coastline.

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.

HERE GOES YOUR ANSWER,

DECCAN PLATEAU :-

The Deccan is a peninsular plateau located in central India that includes inland sections of the states of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka.

#The Deccan is delineated by the Western Ghats on the west, the Nilgiri Hills on the south, the Eastern Ghats on the east, and the Aravalli and Chota Nagpur hills on the north.

#This upland is drained by a series of rivers, notably the Godavari, Krishna, Penner, and Kaveri (Cauvery), most of which start near the Arabian Sea and flow eastward to the Bay of Bengal.

#The river valleys are densely populated, but the dry areas lying in between the rivers are often lightly settled. Irrigation is uneven because the rivers are rain-fed. Nevertheless, the volcanic soil of the north lends itself to cotton cultivation.

#Other cash crops include millet, oil-seeds, and wheat, and there are tea and coffee plantations in the south. Among major Deccan cities are Poona, Hyderabad, and Bangalore.
