    Topography of odisha
    Location
    Odisha is one of the States of India.It is located between
    the parallels of 17.49'N and 22.34'N latitudes and meridians
    of 81.27'E and 87.29'E longitudes. It is bounded by the Bay
    of Bengal on the east; Madhya Pradesh on the west and
    Andhra Pradesh on the south. It has a coast line of about
    450 kms. It extends over an area of 155,707 square kms.
    Accounting about 4.87 of the total area of India. According
    to the 1991 census, it has a total population of 31,512,070
    (3.73 percent of the total population of India) out of which
    about 16,237,000 are male and 15,275,070 are female.
    Relife
    On the basis of homogeneity, continuity and physiographic
    characteristics, Odisha has been divided into five major
    morphological regions : the Odisha Coastal Plain in the
    east, the Middle Mountainous and Highlands Region, the
    Central plateaus, the western rolling uplands and the
    major flood plains.

    The Odisha Coastal Plains


    The Odisha Coastal Plains are the depositional landforms
    of recent origin and geological belong to the Post-Tertiary
    Period. The 75 meter contour line delimits their western
    boundary and differentiates them from the Middle
    Mountainous Region

    his region stretches from the West Bengal border, i.e. from
    the River Subarnarekha in the north to the River
    Rushikulya in the south.

    This region is the combination of several deltas of varied


    sizes and shapes formed by the major rivers of Odisha,
    such as the Subarnarekha, the Budhabalanga, the
    Baitarani, the Brahmani, the Mahanadi, and the
    Rushikulya. Therefore, the coastal plain of Odisha is called
    the "Hexadeltaic region" or the "Gift of Six Rivers". It
    stretches along the coast of the Bay of Bengal having the
    maximum width in the Middle Coastal Plain (the Mahanadi
    Delta), narrow in the Northern Coastal Plain (Balasore
    Plain) and narrowest in the Southern Coastal Plain (
    Ganjam Plain). The North Coastal Plain comprises the
    deltas of the Subarnarekha and the Budhabalanga rivers
    and bears evidences of marine transgressions. The Middle
    Coastal Plain comprises the compound deltas of the
    Baitarani, Brahmani and Mahanadi rivers and bears
    evidences of past 'back bays' and present lakes. The South
    Coastal Plain comprises the lacustrine plain of Chilika lake
    and the smaller delta of the Rushikulya River.

    The Middle Mountainous And Highlands Region


    The region covers about three-fourth of the entire State.
    Geologically it is a part of the Indian Peninsula which as a

    part of the ancient landmass of the Gondwanaland.The
    major rivers of Odishawith their tributaries have cut deep
    and narrow valleys. This region mostly comprises the hills
    and mountains of the Eastern Ghats which rise abruptly
    and steeply in the east and slope gently to a dissected
    plateau in the west running from north-east (Mayurbhanj)
    to north-west (Malkangirig). This region is well marked by
    a number of interfluves or watersheds. The Eastern Ghats
    is interrupted by a number of broad and narrow river
    valleys and flood plains. The average weight of this region
    is about 900 meters above the mean seal level.

    The Central Plateaus


    The plateaus are mostly eroded plateaus forming the
    western slopes of the Eastern Ghats with elevation varying
    from 305-610 meters. There are two broad plateaus in
    Odisha : (i) the Panposh - Keonjhar -Pallahara plateau
    comprises the Upper Baitarani catchment basin, and (ii)
    the Nabrangpur - Jeypore plateau comprises the Sabari
    basin.

    The Western Rolling Uplands


    These are lower in elevation than the plateaus having
    heights varying from 153 meters to 305
