rajasthan gk in english:Plateaus of Rajasthan

       This plateau in Rajasthan covers the eastern part along the Chambal River including Kota-Bundi section. It is bounded in the northwest by the Great Boundary Fault of the Aravalis and extends eastward across the Rajasthan border till one comes across the sharply defined scarp overlooking Bundellkhand.

        Its height varies from 320 in to 420 m above mean sea level. The Chambal flows through this plateau and has carved out a gorge from Chaurasigarh to Kota for about 100 kilometres. It is an extension of the Vindhyan Plateau of Madhya Pradesh westward into Rajasthan as a triple plateau of three concentric scarps formed by the outcrops of three strong sandstones with intervening shales which render transportations in this region difficult. 

       This area is of deep black soil derived from the Deccan Trap lava. Because of its elevation and stony character the area is also called `Pathart or itiparmal’. The Bhorat Plateau with an average elevation of 1225 m lies northwest of Udaipur between Kumbhalgarh and Gogunda.
