The configuration and drainage of the peninsula have been influenced by fracturing and tilting of the massif. The fault in which Narmada river flows divides the plateau into two unequal parts; the smaller one in the north being known as the Central Highlands (comprising the Aravalli ranges, east Rajasthan upland, Madhya Pradesh plateau and Bundelkhand upland stretching over about one-sixth of the total area of India); the bigger one in the south being known as the Deccan Plateau (comprising the Satpuras Western and Eastern Ghats, and a large number of plateaus-spread over about 70,000 sq.kms.)

The northern part is tilted towards north and its drainage is towards north, i.e., towards the Ganga valley, chiefly by way of the rivers Chambal, Sone, Kali, Sindh, Parvati, Damodar, Ken Betwa, and others. The southern part has been tilted east with bold heights to the west.

The Mahanadi the Godavari, the Krishna, the Cauvery and the Pennar all flow towards the east and fall into the Bay of Bengal. Narmada and Tapti are the only two large rivers which flow westward and fall into the Arabian Sea. The general elevation of the central Highlands ranges between 700 – 1000 m above the mean sea level.
