प्रश्न
Identify the shaded part in the map given above. State any two characteristic features of this relief division. What is its significance?
उत्तर
The Deccan Plateau, a prominent geological feature in India, is shown as the shaded area on the provided map. Its distinguishing qualities are:
- Volcanic basalt rocks deposited on the Deccan Plateau during the Cretaceous era are what produce black cotton soils.
- Raised flat and slowly sloping eastward, it is bounded to the west and east by the Western and Eastern Ghats and, to the north, by the Vindhya and Satpura ranges, which divide it from the Northern Plains.
Significance: Because of its rich soil, which facilitates the growth of several crops, most notably cotton, and greatly boosts India's textile sector, it has great agricultural significance. Furthermore, the region's distinct terrain affects the climate, which includes the patterns of rainfall. It supports the mining industry by containing abundant mineral resources.
