About the Aravali Hill Range in India
*******************
The Aravali hill range
is a mountain range in the North-Western part of India. It starts from Delhi (nearby
areas), passing through Southern Haryana, Rajasthan and ends in Ahmedabad
(Gujrat).
Important mineral
resources, Marble and Copper are found in the Aravali hill range. The highest
peak of the Aravali hill range is ‘Guru Shikhar’ in Mount Abu situated in the
state of Rajasthan, at the height of 1722 metres.
The
Aravali hill range is said to be the oldest range of fold Mountains in India. The
natural history of the Aravali hill range dates back to times when the Indian
Plate was separated from the Eurasian Plate. The Aravali hill range is located
in the North-Western part of the Indian peninsula.
In the ancient times,
Aravali hills were extremely high. The Aravali hills have stopped growing
higher due to the cessation thrust caused by the tectonic plates in the Earth’s
crust below them.
The Aravali hill range
joins two of the ancient Earth’s crust segments that make up the greater Indian
craton.
