Land Relief, drainage, and soils The state has three main physiographic regions: the coastal plain to the east, extending from the Bay of Bengal to the mountain ranges; the mountain ranges themselves, the Eastern, which form the western flank of the coastal plain; and, in the southwest, the plateau to the west of the Ghats. The coastal plain, also known as the Andhra region, runs almost the entire length of the state and is watered by several rivers, flowing from west to east through the hills into the bay. Zrazok resume supervajzera. The deltas formed by the most important of those rivers—the and the —make up the central part of the plains, an area of fertile alluvial soil.

Interrupted by the great river valleys, the mountains do not form a continuous range.

The capital city will come up between Prakasam barrage (north east), Borupalem (north west), Ananthavaram (south west) and Y-Junction near Mangalagiri (south east). Andhra Pradesh Capital Region is the conurbation or metropolitan area surrounding Amaravati, the new capital city of Andhra Pradesh.The entire region is under the jurisdiction of Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority, and covers an area of 8,603 km 2 (3,322 sq mi) under 58 mandals, of which 29 are in Krishna district and 29 in Guntur district.

They have highly porous soils on their flanks. The plateau region in the southwestern portion of the state—part of the (peninsular India) and commonly called Rayalaseema—is composed of gneissic rock ( being a foliated rock formed in Earth’s interior under conditions of heat and pressure). It is highest in the far southwest, where elevations exceed 2,000 feet (600 metres), sloping downward toward the northeast. The forms the main drainage system.

As the result of erosion, the plateau is a region of graded valleys, with red sandy soil and isolated hills. Black soil is also found in certain parts of the area.

Summers are extraordinarily hot and humid, with maximum daily temperatures exceeding 95 °F (35 °C) and even surpassing 104 °F (40 °C) in the central portion of the state. Summer nightly minimums drop to below about 70 °F (20 °C) only in the far southwest. Winters are somewhat cooler, with January maximum temperatures between 86 and 95 °F (30 and 35 °C) in all but the northeastern portion of the state.

Winter lows drop below about 60 °F (15 °C) only in the extreme northeast. Annual precipitation, which derives largely from the southwest rains, generally decreases toward the southwestern plateau area. Coastal areas receive about 40 to 47 inches (1,000 to 1,200 mm) per year, while the westernmost part of the plateau may receive only half that much. Rainfall totals in portions of the northeastern mountains exceed 47 inches and can be as high as 55 inches (1,400 mm). Plant and animal life swamps and palm trees fringe the coastal plain of Andhra Pradesh, while thorny vegetation covers the scattered hills of the plateau. About one-fifth of the state’s total area is forest-covered, with dense woodlands occurring primarily in the Eastern Ghats.
