Detailed explanation-1: -The peninsular plateau is composed of igneous and metamorphic rocks with gently rising hills and wide valleys. The Himalayas, geologically young and structurally fold mountains stretch over the northern borders of India. These mountain ranges run in a west-east direction from the Indus to the Brahmaputra.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Peninsular plateau is a tableland composed of the old crystalline, igneous and metamorphic rocks. It was formed due to the breaking and drifting of the Gondwana land and thus, making it a part of the oldest landmass. The plateau has broad and shallow valleys and rounded hills.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Peninsular Plateau of India is composed of the Igneous and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling of magma inside the Earth. There are two types: Intrusive igneous rocks crystallize below Earth’s surface, and the slow cooling that occurs there allows large crystals to form.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Peninsular Plateau of India is roughly triangular in shape with its base parallel to the Ganga Valley and its apex pointing towards the southern tips of the country. It is hard old mass of igneous and metamorphic rocks being part of the tectonic plate called the Gondwanaland.
