Question

Give a geographical reason for the following:

The Peninsular Plateau of India is considered to be a part of Gondwanaland hundreds of millions of years ago.

Short Note

Solution

The Peninsular Plateau of India is thought to have been part of Gondwanaland millions of years ago due to tectonic events that caused the Indo-Australian plate to shift northward. The plateau's rocks are similar to those found in Africa, including age, kind, and layer sequence.
