The Precambrian terrain in South India is marked by a well defined overall slope towards east and a westerly slope in Malagasy has been recorded. The definition of opposing directions of slope in the two lands is considered to be the result of crustal upwarping along a NNW-SSE 'trending axis prior to the separation of Malagasy from India about 100 m.y.- 80 m.y. ago. The change in the courses of the Cauvery and a few other rivers in South India from northeast to east is attributable to the easterly tilt.
