Question

The Deccan plateau has soil that is good for cotton growing. Give reason.

Answer 1

Hint:In western and southern India, the Deccan Plateau is a broad plateau. It rises to 100 meters (330 ft) in the north and to more than 1,000 meters (3,300 ft) in the south, creating an elevated triangle within the Indian coastline's southern triangle.

Complete answer:
Reasons why Deccan plateau is suitable for cotton production:-
For scientists (especially those who study rocks), the Deccan plateau is interesting because it was formed by flows of lava. Millions of years ago, molten rock (lava) erupted from below the surface of the Earth and spread to the ground. The lava spread out and on the surface it hardened into a layer of rock.
Thick dark soil (called regur) commonly found in the Deccan Plateau is suitable for cotton cultivation and hence cotton in the Deccan Plateau is widely cultivated. Cotton is a plant that needs a long freezing time, a lot of heat and a lot of sunlight. Hot and humid climates are favored-
- A long free time for Frost
- A plethora of sunshine
- Moderate precipitation, usually from 60 to 120 cm,
India is the largest producer and second-largest exporter of cotton in the world. The key cotton-growing states of Gujarat, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu are 2°C average temperature.
