They lie to the south of the Shivaliks, separated by the Himalayan Frontal Fault (HFF). The southern boundary is a wavy irregular line along the northern edge of Peninsular India. On the eastern side, the plains are bordered by the Purvanchal hills. These plains extend from the state of Haryana, including Delhi, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh, parts of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Jharkhand to West Bengal. These continue to the west beyond the Punjab and Rajast\u00adhan and merge into Indus plain in the Pakistan. The northern plain has been formed by the interplay of the three major river systems, namely the Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra along with their tributaries. This plain spreads over an area of 7 lakh sq. km. They have a width ranging from less than 200 km (Bihar) to 500 km (Punjab and Rajasthan). It is a densely populated physiographic division. With a rich soil cover combined with adequate water supply and favorable climate it is agriculturally a very productive part of India.<\/p>\n<p>The major rivers in the northern plains are Ganga, Yamuna, Chambal, Betwa, Son, Ken, Ghahghra, Gandak, Kosi and Hoogley. The entire northern plains are made of alluvial soil and hence it is\u00a0agriculturally a\u00a0very productive part of India.

It came into existence with the tectonic shift in Gondwanaland. As a result of this ancient shift, a triangular-shaped plateau was formed and is characterized by curved hills, and channels. The Peninsular plateau is composed of the old crystalline, igneous and metamorphic rocks. Three different mountain ranges, the Aravallis, the Vidhyas, and the Satpuras, surround the Peninsular Plateau. The plateau which is roughly triangular in shape has it&#8217;s base coinciding with the southern edge of the great plain of North India and the apex of the triangular plateau is at Kanyakumari. The Peninsular Plateau covers the eight states namely Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujrat, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Odisha.\u00a0It covers a total area of about 16 lakh sq km. The height of the plateau varies from region to region and the average height of the plateau is 600 to 900 m above sea level. Some of the important physiographic features of this region are tors, block mountains, rift valleys, spurs, bare rocky structures, series of hummocky hills and wall-like quartzite dykes offering natural sites for water storage.<\/p>\n<p>This plateau consists of two broad divisions, namely, the Central Highlands and the Deccan Plateau. The part of the Peninsular plateau lying to the north of the Narmada river covering a major area of the Malwa plateau is known as the Central Highlands. The Deccan Plateau is a triangular landmass\u00a0that lies to the south of the river Narmada.<\/p>\n<p>The Central Highlands consists of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Malwa Plateau<\/li>\n<li>Chotanagpur Plateau<\/li>\n<li>Meghalaya Plateau<\/li>\n<li>Vidhya Range<\/li>\n<li>Satpura Range<\/li>\n<li>Aravali Range<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Deccan Plateau is divided to following sub-regions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Andhra Plateau<\/li>\n<li>Maharashtra Plateau<\/li>\n<li>Karnataka Plateau<\/li>\n<li>Eastern plateaus<\/li>\n<li>Western Ghats<\/li>\n<li>Eastern Ghats<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Deccan Plateau is higher in the west and slopes gently eastwards. An extension of the plateau is also visible in the northeast, locally known as the Meghalaya, Karbi-Anglong Plateau and North Cachar Hills. It is separated by a fault from the Chotanagpur Plateau. Three prominent hill ranges from the west to the east are the Garo, the Khasi and the Jaintia Hills.
