Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about the Deccan Plateau?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. The Satpura Range is in the South of the Plateau.
- "The Satpura Range is in the South of the Deccan Plateau" is incorrect. The Satpura Range forms the northern boundary of the Deccan Plateau, not the southern.
- The Deccan Plateau is bordered by the Western and Eastern Ghats, and the Satpura and Vindhya ranges lie to its north, separating it from the Indo-Gangetic Plain. The plateau slopes generally eastwards, and is known for its volcanic basalt rock formations.
