1. The Northern area of Central highlands is known as the Bundelkhand plateau.
The peninsular plateau is broadly divided into the central highlands and the Deccan plateau. The northern part of the peninsula, north of the Vindhyas, is known as the central highlands. It is bounded by the Aravalis in the north-west, merging gradually with the Ganga plains in the north.

2. Bundelkhand plateau is formed by the erosion of the old rocks.
The Malwa plateau had been formed out of intense volcanism some 66 million years ago, a part of the same process that had helped wipe out the dinosaurs and laid out the bed of petrified lava that are the Deccan Traps.
