Explanation

The Deccan Plateau was formed by volcanic activity around 60–65 million years ago during the Cretaceous period. The Deccan Traps, a large igneous province, were created by successive lava flows, leading to the plateau’s basaltic structure.

डेक्कन पठार का निर्माण क्रेटेशियस काल के दौरान लगभग 60-65 मिलियन वर्ष पहले ज्वालामुखी गतिविधि से हुआ था। डेक्कन ट्रैप, एक बड़ा आग्नेय प्रांत, लगातार लावा प्रवाह द्वारा बनाया गया था, जिससे पठार की बेसाल्टिक संरचना बनी।
