    Hill Ranges of Indian Peninsular Plateau :

    • Hill Ranges of Indian Peninsular Plateau are 1. The Aravalli Range, 2. The Vindhyan Range, 3. The Satpura Range, 4. The Western Ghats (or the Sahyadris), 5. The Eastern Ghats.
    • Most of these hills are of the relict type, being remnants of the originally higher hills.
    • Aravalli are the oldest fold mountains in India.
    • The Vindhyan Range rises as an escarpment fl anking the northern edge of the Narmada-Son Trough overlooking the Narmada valley. It runs more or less parallel to the Narmada Valley in an east-west direction. The western part of this range is covered with lava while the eastern part extends as the Bharner and Kaimur hills
    • The Satpura Range: ‘Sat’ means seven and ‘pura’ means mountains. Therefore, the Satpura range is a series of seven mountains. It runs in an east-west direction south of the Vindhyas and in between the Narmada and the Tapi, roughly parallel to these rivers. Dhupgarh (1,350 m) near Pachmarhi on Mahadev Hills is the highest peak of Satpura.
    • Tapti River takes its birth in the Betul plateau and Narmada River takes its birth in Amarkantak plateau
