Detailed Solution

The above statement is correct. The Peninsular plateau comprises several small plateaus: the Malwa plateau, the Coimbatore plateau, and the Karnataka plateau. It can be divided into the Deccan plateau, the Northeastern plateau, and the Central highlands. Anamudi peak in the Anaimalai Hills of Western Ghats is the highest peak of the Peninsular plateau. The black soil area known as the Deccan Traps is the most distinct feature of the Peninsular plateau. One of the largest volcanic provinces in the world, the area is highly fertile and suitable for cultivating cotton and other crops. The Deccan Trap is believed to be formed due to one or more huge volcano eruptions. These eruptions could have contributed to the extinction of dinosaurs.
