(Part 2) The plateau and desert region

A very good morning to all !!

 Let's begin.......

We have studied earlier that river Narmada divides Southern Plateau into two parts, the Central Highlands in the north and the Deccan Plateau in the south.

In the previous blog we learnt about Central Highlands and today we will learn about the Deccan Plateau.

The Deccan Plateau

Deccan Plateau is the largest plateau in India.

It extends from river Narmada to the southern tip of peninsular India.

Western Ghats includes the Nilgiri Hills, the Annamalai Hills and the Cardamom Hills. The hills of Western Ghats are higher than that of Eastern Ghats. Both join each other at Nilgiri 
Hills.

Now, we will study about the Rivers of this region. 

Godavari is the longest river of the Deccan Plateau region.
