Question

The Deccan Plateau is located in ___________
A) Kenya
B) Australia
C) India
D) None of these

Answer 1

Hint:
The Deccan Plateau upsurges 100 m (330 feet) in the north, and to more than 1,000 m (3,300 feet) in the south, creating an elevated triangle in the south-pointing triangle along the Indian shoreline.

Complete answer:
The Deccan Plateau is a huge highland in western and southern India. It spreads over 8 Indian states and incorporates a wide variety of habitations, covering important portions of Telangana, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. The highland is situated between 2 mountain ranges, the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats, each of which upsurges from its individual adjacent coastal lowland, and nearly touches at the southern apex of India. It is detached from the Gangetic lowland to the north by the Satpura and Vindhya Ranges, which shape its northern border. The Deccan created some of the key reigns in Indian history comprising Pallavas, Satavahana, Vakataka, Chalukya, and Rashtrakuta reigns, the Western Chalukya, the Kadamba Dynasty, Kakatiya Empire, Musunuri Nayaks.

Thus, option (C) is correct.

Note:
The Deccan plateau is very abundant in minerals and valuable shingles. The highland's mineral prosperity directed many lowland leaders, as well as those of the Mauryan (4th–2nd century BCE) and Gupta (4th–6th century CE) reigns, to battle over it. Key minerals discovered here comprise coal, iron ore, asbestos, chromite, mica, and kyanite. Ever since March 2011, huge residues of uranium have been unearthed in the Tummalapalle belt and in the Bhima basin at Gogi in Karnataka. The Tummalapalle belt uranium reserve promises to be one of the top 20 uranium reserve discoveries of the world.
