SSC CHSL - 08 Aug 2023 - Shift 2 • General Awareness • Q34

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.
