Deccan Plateau
The Deccan Plateau constitutes the whole of the south Indian tableland - the elevated region lying east of the Western Ghats. The plateau occupies large parts of Maharashtra and Karnataka and a portion of Andhra Pradesh. In general, the elevation of the region rises to over 1,000 metres (m) in the south while it barely exceeds 500 m in the north. The rivers of the region have for the greater part, reached their base level of erosion and carved out wide valleys in various places.
