Explanation:

Peninsular Block is Indian plate which was earlier part of Gondwana land / plate which broke in geological time and broken parts of it move in different direction as Indian plate, Australian plate, Antarctica plate, African plate etc. Great Indian Peninsular Plateau is formed essentially of the ancient igneous rocks. The earth movements which have brought some changes in the landscape of this stale block of the earth's crust were vertical, thus, resulting in the formation of faults along which some areas sank forming faulted basins or rift valleys.
