Answer:
1) Features of Central Highlands :
(i)The part of the Peninsular Plateau lying to
the north of the Narmada river covering major area of the Malwa Plateau is
known as the Central Highland.
(ii)The Vindhyan range is bound by the Central Highland on the south and the Aravallis on the north-west. The further westward extension gradually merges with the sandy and rocky desert of Rajasthan.
(iii) The flow of the rivers draining this region, namely Chambal, the Sind, the Betwa and Ken is from south-west to north-east, thus indicating the slope.
(iv) The Central Highlands are wider in the West but narrower in the East.
(v) The eastward extensions of this plateau are locally known as the Bundelkhand and Baghelkhand.
2) Features of Deccan Plateau:
is a triangular landmass that lies to the south of the river Narmada.
The Satpura range flanks its broad base in the north while the Mahadev, the Kaimur hills and the Maikal range form its eastward extension.
It is higher in the west and slopes gently eastwards.
Its north-east extension is locally known as the Meghalaya and Karbi-Anglong plateau and North Cachar Hills. It is separated by a fault from the Chota Nagpur plateau.
Three prominent hill ranges from the west to east are the Garo, Khasi and Jaintia hills.
