Land
The state is often divided broadly into four natural divisions: the northern plateau, the Eastern Ghats, the central tract, and therefore the coastal plains. The northern plateau is an extension of the forest-covered and mineral-rich Chota Nagpur plateau centered in Jharkhand. The Eastern Ghats, extending roughly parallel to the coast and rising to an elevation of about 3,600 feet (1,100 meters), are remnants of a really ancient line of hills in eastern peninsular India. The central track comprises a series of plateaus and basins occupying the inland area to the west and north of the Eastern Ghats; the plateau areas provide scant resources, but several of the basins—notably the Kalahandi, Balangir, Hirakud, and Jharsuguda—have the soil and therefore the irrigation facilities to support local agriculture. The land s are formed of alluvial soils deposited by the various rivers flowing to the Bay of Bengal; locally the world is understood because of the Balasore (Baleshwar) coastal plain to the northeast, the Mahanadi River delta within the center, and therefore the Chilka plain to the southwest.

Climate
Odisha is found during a climatic region referred to as tropical wet-dry (or tropical savanna). In January, the good month, high temperatures in Cuttack typically rise into the mid-80s F (about 30 °C) from a coffee within the mid-50s F (low 10s C). In May, the warmest month, temperatures usually reach the mid-90s F (mid-30s C) from a coffee within the low 70s F (low 20s C). the upper elevations of the hills provide some relief from the summer heat, which becomes particularly oppressive within the basins of the central tract. Average annual rainfall within the state is about 60 inches (1,500 mm), mostly occurring during the months of the southwest monsoon (June through September). The Eastern Ghats receive heavier precipitation, while the coastal area south of Chilka Lake, which is that the driest region within the state, may receive but 50 inches (1,300 mm) annually
