The Peninsular Plateau is mainly made of which rocks?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Igneous and metamorphic rocks

Correct answer: A, igneous and metamorphic rocks. The Peninsular Plateau is an ancient, stable landmass of India. Its foundation consists largely of very old crystalline rocks, especially igneous and metamorphic rocks. These rocks are generally hard and resistant, which helps explain the plateau's rugged surface, broad uplands, and long geological history. A is correct because it describes the major rock character of the plateau. B is wrong because coral rocks form mainly in warm, shallow marine environments and do not make up the main body of the Peninsular Plateau. C is wrong because new alluvium is river-deposited sediment characteristic of floodplains, especially the Northern Plains. D is wrong because glacial ice is not the bedrock of this plateau. Memory cue: the Peninsular Plateau is an old crystalline block—think hard igneous and metamorphic rocks.
