Question

Where is Deccan Trap located and what does it compose of?

Answer 1

The black soil area in the peninsular plateau regions is known as the Deccan trap. They extend from Gujarat to Delhi in a southwest-northeast direction. This is of volcanic origin hence the rocks are igneous.

Actually, these rocks have descended over time and are responsible for the formation of black soil. The Aravalli hills lie on the western and northwestern margins of the peninsular plateau. These are highly eroded hills and are found as broken hills.
