Answer:
The Peninsular plateau is an ancient crystallographic, igneous, and metamorphic tableland. It was developed due to the breakup and drifting of the Gondwana continent, making it one of the oldest landmasses. The plateau has large and shallow valleys as well as rounded hills. This plateau is divided into the Central Highlands and the Deccan Plateau.
- The Central Highlands are the parts of the Peninsular plateau to the north of the Narmada River that cover a large portion of the Malwa plateau
- The Deccan Plateau is a triangle landmass south of the Narmada River. The Satpura range borders its broad base in the north, while the Mahadev, Kaimur hills, and Maikal range constitute its eastern expansions
