'''Karbi-Meghalaya plateau''' is, in fact, an extension of the main [[Geography_of_India#The_Peninsular_Plateaus|Indian peninsular plateau]] and are originally two different plateaus - [[Karbi Anglong Plateau]] and [[Shillong Plateau|Meghalaya plateau]].<br />
<br />
The [https://www.northeastindiainfo.com/2020/05/meghalaya-plateau.html Meghalaya plateau] is traditionally divided into Garo, Khasi and Jaintia Hills. The region from the river Dhansiri in the east to the Singimari River on the west is about 400 km long with an average width of about 40 km, covering about 35, 291 km2.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Saikia|first=Partha|title=Meghalaya Plateau|url=https://www.northeastindiainfo.com/2020/05/meghalaya-plateau.html|website=North East India Info}}</ref><br />

[[Karbi Anglong Plateau|Karbi Plateau]] is pear-shaped and has an area of about 7000 km2. Its link with the [[Meghalaya]] plateau proper is towards the south through a patch of highly denuded and subdued senile terrain.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Saikia|first=Partha|title=Karbi Plateau|url=https://www.northeastindiainfo.com/2020/05/karbi-plateau.html|website=North East India Info}}</ref><br />

==Details==<br />
It is believed that due to the force exerted by the northeastward movement of the Indian plate at the time of the Himalayan origin, a huge fault was created between the [[Rajmahal hills]] and the Karbi-Meghalaya plateau. Later, this depression was filled up by the depositional activity of numerous rivers. Today the Maghalaya and Karbi Anglong plateau remains detached from the main Peninsular block. This area receives maximum rainfall from the South-West monsoon. It is located in the north eastern plateau of India.<ref>{{cite book |last=Vasudevan |first=Hari |title=India:Physical Environment |year=2006 |publisher= NCERT|location=New Delhi|isbn=81-7450-538-5|pages =17|chapter =Structure and Physiography|display-authors=etal}}</ref><br />
