Abstract
The triangle-shaped Indian peninsula is a plateau characterized by several mountain ranges, hills, rivers, deep broad valleys and plains of different elevations. Bordered by continental shelfs, it is believed to be a Pre-Cambrian platform the basement of which is formed by Archaean gneisses, schists and igneous metamorphosed rocks. While the Deccan Traps are the cover sediments in north-western peninsular regions, the basement rocks themselves are exposed in the southern, eastern and northern territories occupying nearly two-thirds of the shield area.
