The Deccan Plateau is a large, elevated region located in southern India. It is bordered by the Western Ghats to the west and the Eastern Ghats to the east, covering parts of several states, including Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. The plateau is known for its rich volcanic soil, which supports agriculture, particularly the cultivation of crops like cotton and millet. This plateau is characterized by its unique geological features, including flat-topped hills and deep valleys. The average elevation ranges from 300 to 900 meters above sea level. The region is also home to diverse wildlife and several important rivers, such as the Godavari and Krishna, which originate in the area.
