The Peninsular Plateau

In Class 9 Geography, this topic from “Physical Features of India” explains the Peninsular Plateau as an ancient, stable landmass made largely of hard crystalline rocks. Students learn its main divisions—the Central Highlands and the Deccan Plateau—along with their boundaries, uneven relief, hills, valleys, and important rivers. The topic also shows how the plateau’s geology and mineral resources influence soils, agriculture, industries, and human settlements across peninsular India.
