- Andhra Pradesh
-
Andhra Pradesh is made up of most of the eastern half of the Deccan Plateau and the plains to the east of the Eastern Ghats. Andhra Pradesh is divided into three regions. The northern part of the plateau is the Telangana region and the southern part is known as Rayalaseema. These two regions are separated by River Krishna. The third region is Coastal Andhra. The plains to the east of Eastern Ghats form the Eastern Coastal Plains. The Eastern Ghats are discontinuous and individual sections have been given local names. The Kadapa Basin formed by two arching branches of the Eastern Ghats is an area rich in mineral sources. The coastal plains are largely deltaic regions formed by the Godavari, Krishna, and Penner rivers. The Eastern Ghats are a major dividing line in the state's geography. The Ghats become more pronounced towards the south and extreme north of the coast. The Eastern Ghats are home to dense tropical forests, while the vegetation becomes sparse as the Ghats give way to the Deccan Plateau, where shrub vegetation is more common. Most of the coastal plains are put to intense agricultural use. The west and southwest parts of Andhra Pradesh have semi-arid conditions.
