PROBLEMS OF GEOMORPHOLOGY OF HINDUSTAN

Abstract
Problems of the origin and age of planation surfaces in the peninsular block of Hindustan are discussed alongside a morphostructural analysis of the area. It is noted that the river valleys are very ancient and are related to regional fractures. The shore line of Hindustan reveals sea-level fluctuations and tectonic movements of the coast in Pleistocene. A morphostructural classification of the relief is suggested.
