    The Thar Desert (also known as the deserts) is the world's seventh largest desert covering an area of

    about 200,000 km2(77,000 sq miles), lies in state of Rajasthan. This region comprises of sand dunes,

    craggy rock forms, compacted salt-lake bottoms, and interdunal and fixed dune areas. Annual

    temperatures can range from 0C in the winter to over 50C during the summer. Water is scarce and

    occurs at great depths, ranging from 30 to 120 m below the ground level. Rainfall is erratic, ranging from

    below 120 mm. The soils of the arid region are generally sandy to sandy-loam in texture.

    Highlands/ Plateau

    The Central Highlands consists of three main plateaus

    theMalwa Plateau in the west, theDeccan Plateau in the south

    and theChota Nagpur Plateau in the east.

    The Malwa Plateau is spread across states of Rajasthan,

    Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat with average elevation of 500

    metres generally sloped towards the north. Drained by the

    Chambal River and its tributaries.The Deccan Plateau is a large triangular plateau covering

    a total area of 1.9 million km (735,000 mile). It is mostly flat, with

    elevations ranging from 300 to 600 m, sloping gently from west to

    east and gives rise to several peninsular rivers such as the

    Godavari, theKrishna, theKaveri and theMahanadi which drain

    into the Bay of Bengal.

    The Chota Nagpur Plateau is situated in eastern India, Its

    total area is approximately 65,000 km (25,000 mile). Much of

    the plateau is forested, covered by thedry deciduous forests.

    Coasts

    The Eastern Coastal Plain is a wide stretch of land lying between

    the Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal. It stretches fromTamil

    Nadu in the south toWest Bengal in the east. TheMahanadi,

    Godavari, Kaveri, and Krishna rivers drain these plains. Annual

    rainfall in this region averages between 1,000 and 3,000 mm

    (39 and 120 in). The plains are divided into six regionsthe

    Mahanadi delta, the southern Andhra Pradesh plain, the Krishna-

    Godavari deltas, theKanyakumari coast, theCoromandel Coast,

    and sandy coastal.

    The Western Coastal Plain is a narrow strip of land sandwiched

    between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea, ranging from

    50 to 100 km (31 to 62 mi) in width. It extends from Gujarat in the

    north and extends through Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, and

    Kerala. Major rivers flowing into the sea are the Tapi, Narmada,

    Mandovi andZuari.Vegetation is mostly deciduous.
