===The Peninsular Plateau===
*The [[Vindhya]] range runs across most of central India, extending {{convert|1050|km|mi||abbr=on}}.<ref name="manorama2"/> The average elevation of these hills is from {{convert|300|to|600|m|abbr=on}} and rarely goes above {{convert|700|m}}.<ref name="manorama2"/> They are believed to have been formed by the wastes created by the weathering of the ancient Aravali mountains.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Indian geographical journal|year=1971 |publisher=Indian Geographical Society |location= |isbn= |volume=46 |page=52}}</ref> Geographically, it separates [[North India|Northern]] India from [[South India|Southern]] India. The western end of the range lies in eastern Gujarat, near its border with Madhya Pradesh, and runs east and north, almost meeting the Ganges at [[Mirzapur]]

*The [[Malwa Plateau]] is spread across Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. The average elevation of the Malwa plateau is 500 metres, and the landscape generally slopes towards the north. Most of the region is drained by the Chambal River and its tributaries; the western part is drained by the upper reaches of the [[Mahi River]].
*Kutch Kathiawar plateau
Kutch Kathiawar plateau is located in Gujarat state.

*The [[Deccan Plateau]] is a large triangular plateau, bounded by the Vindhyas to the north and flanked by the Eastern and Western Ghats. The Deccan covers a total area of 1.9 million&nbsp;km² (735,000 mile²). It is mostly flat, with elevations ranging from {{convert|300|to|600|m|ft|abbr=on}}. The average elevation of the plateau is {{convert|2000|ft|m}} above sea level. The surface slopes from {{convert|3000|ft|m}} in the west to {{convert|1500|ft|m}} in the east.<ref name="HSW">{{cite web|title=The Deccan Plateau|url=http://geography.howstuffworks.com/asia/the-deccan-plateau.htm|publisher=How Stuff Works|accessdate=14 November 2008}}</ref> It slopes gently from west to east and gives rise to several peninsular rivers such as the [[Godavari River|Godavari]], the [[Krishna River|Krishna]], the [[Kaveri]] and the [[Mahanadi River|Mahanadi]] which drain into the Bay of Bengal. This region is mostly semi-arid as it lies on the leeward side of both Ghats. Much of the Deccan is covered by thorn scrub forest scattered with small regions of [[deciduous]] broadleaf forest. Climate in the Deccan ranges from hot summers to mild winters.
*The [[Chota Nagpur Plateau]] is situated in eastern India, covering much of Jharkhand and adjacent parts of Odisha, Bihar and Chhattisgarh. Its total area is approximately {{convert|65000|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}} and is made up of three smaller plateaus — the Ranchi, Hazaribagh, and Kodarma plateaus. The Ranchi plateau is the largest, with an average elevation of {{convert|700|m|ft|abbr=on}}. Much of the plateau is forested, covered by the [[Chota Nagpur dry deciduous forest]]s. Vast reserves of metal ores and [[coal]] have been found in the Chota Nagpur plateau. The [[Kathiawar]] peninsula in western Gujarat is bounded by the Gulf of Kutch and the Gulf of Khambat. The natural vegetation in most of the peninsula is [[xeric scrub]], part of the [[Northwestern thorn scrub forests]] ecoregion.
*The [[Satpura Range]] begins in eastern Gujarat near the Arabian Sea coast and runs east across Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. It extends {{convert|900|km|mi||abbr=on}} with many peaks rising above {{convert|1000|m|ft||abbr=on}}.<ref name="manorama2"/> It is triangular in shape, with its apex at [[Ratnapuri, India|Ratnapuri]] and the two sides being parallel to the [[Tapti River|Tapti]] and [[Narmada River|Narmada]] rivers.<ref name="manorama3">{{cite book| title = Manorama Yearbook 2006 (India – The Country)| page = 517}}</ref> It runs parallel to the Vindhya Range, which lies to the north, and these two east-west ranges divide the Indo–Gangetic plain from the Deccan Plateau located north of River Narmada.
*The [[Aravali Range]] is the oldest mountain range in India, running across Rajasthan from northeast to southwest direction, extending approximately {{convert|800|km|mi||abbr=on}}.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=Kpd9lLY_0-IC&pg=PA92&dq=Aravali&as_brr=0 Aravali Range] ''Students' Britannica India'', by Dale Hoiberg, Indu Ramchandani.

''Page 92-93''.</ref> The northern end of the range continues as isolated hills and rocky ridges into [[हरियाणा]], ending near [[दिल्ली]]. The highest peak in this range is [[Guru Shikhar]] at [[Mount Abu]], rising to {{convert|1722|m|ft|0|abbr=on}}, lying near the border with Gujarat.<ref>{{cite book|title=Deccan Heritage |last=Gupta|first=Harsh K |author2=Aloka Parasher-Sen |author3=Dorairajan Balasubramanian  |year=2000 |publisher=Orient Blackswan |location= |isbn=81-7371-285-9 |page=28}}</ref> The Aravali Range is the eroded stub of an ancient [[fold mountain]] system.<ref>{{cite book |title=Tropical geomorphology: a morphogenetic study of Rajasthan |last=Sharma |first=Hari Shanker|year=1987 |publisher=Concept |location= |isbn=81-7022-041-6 |page=295}}</ref> The range rose in a [[Precambrian]] event called the Aravali–Delhi [[orogen]]. The range joins two of the ancient segments that make up the Indian [[craton]], the [[Marwar]] segment to the northwest of the range, and the Bundelkhand segment to the southeast.
*The [[Western Ghats]] or Sahyadri mountains run along the western edge of India's [[Deccan Plateau]] and separate it from a narrow coastal plain along the [[Arabian Sea]]. The range runs approximately {{convert|1600|km|mi||abbr=on}}<ref name="manorama3"/> from south of the [[Tapti River]] near the Gujarat–Maharashtra border and across Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu to the southern tip of the Deccan peninsula.

*The [[Eastern Ghats]] are a discontinuous range of mountains, which have been eroded and quadrisected by the four major rivers of southern India, the [[Godavari River|Godavari]], [[Mahanadi River|Mahanadi]], [[Krishna River|Krishna]], and [[Kaveri River|Kaveri]].<ref>{{cite book | title=Flora of Eastern Ghats: Hill ranges of south east India |last=Pullaiah |first=Thammineni|author2=D.Muralidhara Rao |year=2002 |publisher=Daya Books |location= |isbn=81-87498-49-8 |page=1 |volume=1 |chapter=Preface}}</ref> These mountains extend from West Bengal to Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, along the coast and parallel to the Bay of Bengal.
