Look at the Map of India. The colored part is the plateau region. It is also called the Deccan Plateau or the Great Peninsula Plateau. It is rocky and uneven high land or table land. Its height varies from 600 metres to 900 metres above the sea-level.
Polar Regions are characterized by extreme cold and long snowy winters. Organisms living here have to adapt themselves to extreme cold. The animals in these regions are usually white or light colored, e.g., polar bear, penguin.
Puri is situated on this part of the Eastern Coast. It is an important religious center and is known for its Jagannath temple. Nearby is the Chilika Lake, which has a famous bird sanctuary.
