SATHPURA RANGE
The Satpura Range is a
range of hills in central India. The range rises in eastern
Gujarat running east through the border of
Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh and ends in Chhattisgarh.
·
The range parallels the Vindhya Range to the
north, and these two east-west ranges divide Indian Subcontinent into the
Indo-Gangetic plain of northern India and the Deccan Plateau of the south.
·
The Narmada River originates from north-eastern
end of Satpura in Amarkantak, and runs in the depression between the
Satpura and Vindhya ranges, draining the northern slope of the Satpura range, running west towards the Arabian Sea.
·
The Tapti River originates
in the eastern-central part of Satpura, crossing the range
in the center and running west at the range's southern slopes before meeting
the Arabian Sea at Surat, draining the central
and southern slopes of the range.
·
Multai, the place of Tapi river origin is
located about 465 kilometer far, south-westerly to Amarkantak, separated across by
the hill range.
·
The Godavari River and its tributaries drain the
Deccan plateau, which lies south of the range, and the Mahanadi River drains the easternmost portion of the range. The Godavari and
Mahanadi rivers flow into the Bay of Bengal.
