Detailed explanation-1: -Ghats, two mountain ranges forming the eastern and western edges, respectively, of the Deccan plateau of peninsular India. The two ranges run roughly parallel to the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea coasts, respectively, from which they are separated by strips of fairly level coastal land.
Detailed explanation-2: -The mountain ranges of the Vindhya and Satpura are located to the north of the Deccan Plateau.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Deccan’s average elevation is about 2, 000 feet (600 metres), sloping generally eastward. Its principal rivers-the Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri (Cauvery)-flow from the Western Ghats eastward to the Bay of Bengal. The plateau’s climate is drier than that on the coasts and is arid in places.
