| About Nagpur-->Geography |

Nagpur lies on the Deccan plateau of the Indian
Peninsula. The underlying rock strata is covered with alluvial deposits
resulting from the flood plain of the Kanhan River. In some places these give
rise to granular sandy soil. However, in low lying areas which are poorly
drained, the soil is alluvial clay with poor permeability characteristics.In
eastern part of city crystalline metamorphic rocks such as gneiss, schist and
granites are found. In the Northern part of the city, yellowish sand stones and
clays of the lower Gondwana formations are found. |
