v1.c12.s2.1

Peninsular India was never under glaciation, but in several of its river valleys, such as of the Narmada, the Godavari, the Krishna, and the Kortalayer, gravel beds or conglomerates are found intercalated with silts and clays. Constituting the river terraces, these alluvial deposits are believed to show events in the peninsular region corresponding to those in the glacial regions. Some of these deposits have been correlated with the glacial and interglacial phases on the testimony of animal fossils.
