Question

Name the hill ranges of peninsular India.

Answer 1

Hint
A peninsula is a landform on most of its border surrounded by water while being connected to a continent from which it spreads. India is a peninsular region, as it is surrounded by oceans on the southern side of the landmass on three sides.

Complete answer:
Peninsular India consists of South India's different topological and climatic patterns. The Peninsula is a large inverted triangle bordered by the Arabian Sea to the west, the Bay of Bengal to the east, and the Vindhya and Satpura Ranges to the north.

The traditional border between northern and southern India is the line formed by the Narmada River and the Mahanadi river. The peninsular upland, covering an area of approximately 16 Lakh km2, forms India's largest physiographic division. It is bordered by the northwest of the Aravallis, the northeast of the Hazaribagh and Rajmahal Hills, the west of the Western Ghats (Sahayadri Mountains) and the east of the Eastern Ghats. Peninsular India's highest peak is Anamudi, which is 2695 meters above sea level.

The Konkan region is the narrow strip of verdant land between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea; the word includes the area south of the Narmada as far as Goa. The Western Ghats continue south along the Karnataka coast, forming the Malnad (Canara) zone, and end at the Nilgiri mountains, an inner (easterly) extension of the Western Ghats. Approximately along the boundaries of Tamil Nadu with northern Kerala and Karnataka, the Nilgiris stretch in a crescent, encompassing the Palakkad and Wayanad hills, and the Satyamangalam ranges, and extending on to the comparatively low-lying hills of the Eastern Ghats, on the western portion of the frontier between Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. This range forms part of the Tirupati and Anaimalai hills.

Note
The hill ranges of peninsular India are the Aravali range, the Vindhyan range, the Satpura range, the western ghats, and the eastern ghats.

The Aravalli Range (also spelt Aravali) is a mountain range in Northwestern India that runs approximately 692 km (430 mi) in a south-western direction, starting near Delhi, passing through southern Haryana and Rajasthan, and ending in Gujarat.

The Vindhya Range (also called Vindhyachal) is a complex, discontinuous chain of mountain ridges, hill ranges, highlands and escarpments of plateaus in western-central India.

A chain of hills in central India is the Satpura Range. The range stretches to the east through the Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh boundaries to the east until Chhattisgarh in the state of eastern Gujarat.

The Western Ghats, also known as the Sahyadri, are a mountain range covering an area of 140,000 square kilometres (54,000 sq mi) on a 1,600-kilometre stretch parallel to the western coast of the Indian peninsula (990 mi).

A discontinuous series of mountains along the eastern coast of India in the Eastern Ghats. The Eastern Ghats extend from Andhra Pradesh from northern Odisha to Tamil Nadu in the south, passing through some parts of Karnataka as well as Telangana.
