Explanation
Garo, Khasi, and Jaintia hills are part of the Peninsular Plateau of India. They are located in the state of Meghalaya in northeast India. These hills form the western, northern, and southern edges of the Shillong Plateau. The Shillong Plateau is an extension of the Peninsular Plateau. These hills were formed during the same period as the Malwa Plateau, which is also part of the Peninsular Plateau.
The Malda Gap, also called the Garo-Rajmahal Gap, is a large fault that separates the Meghalaya Plateau from the Peninsular Plateau. It was formed due to the movement of the Indo-Australian Plate during the formation of the Himalayas.
