What was this Biblical area like? Though it had forests in its mountainous areas, most of Bashan was a plateau,
high tableland.
In South Africa, the hotspot pushes the crust upwards, generating the distinctive landscape,
which consists mostly of Tablelands more than one kilometer above sea level, the researchers say.
The south-west monsoon sweeps up the Narmada valley from Bombay and
crossing the tableland at Neemuch gives copious supplies to Malwa,
Jhalawar and Kota and the countries which lie in the course of the Chambal River.
