    Study Notes

    Physical Features of India

    • India can be divided into three main physical regions: the Himalayan mountains, the Peninsular Plateau, and the Indo-Gangetic Plain.

    Peninsular Plateau

    • The Peninsular Plateau is a region of old, stable rocks that have been shaped by millions of years of weathering and erosion.
    • It is a plateau region, characterized by a combination of hills, valleys, and plateaus.

    Himalayan Mountains

    • The Himalayan mountains are a young, folding mountain range, characterized by towering peaks, deep valleys, and steep slopes.
    • They are still geologically active, with ongoing processes of folding, faulting, and volcanic activity.

    Indo-Gangetic Plain

    • The Indo-Gangetic Plain is a region of alluvial deposits, formed by the deposition of silt, sand, and other sediment by the rivers flowing from the Himalayas.
    • This region is characterized by a flat, low-lying terrain with a network of rivers and their tributaries.

    Geological Status of the Peninsular Plateau

    • The Peninsular Plateau is a region of old, stable rocks that have been shaped by millions of years of weathering and erosion.
    • It is geologically inactive, with no ongoing processes of folding, faulting, or volcanic activity.
