Question

What mountain ranges flank either side of the central deccan plateau?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Western and the Eastern Ghats flank either side of the "central Deccan plateau".

Explanation:

• The Deccan Plateau was formed by the end of the Cretacious period about "66 million years ago".

• When the "Indian plate" was moving from above the "Reunion Hotspot", the volcanic eruptions from the hotspot resulted in the formation of the Deccan Plateau.

• The "western edge" of the "Deccan Plateau" is characterized by the "presence of the Western Ghats" and the eastern edge by the presence of the Eastern Ghats.
