They are part of the Himalayan foothills and are composed of sedimentary rocks. The Central Plains are a flat, fertile region in the center of Punjab. They are composed of alluvial soil and are used for agriculture. Southwest Punjab is a region in the southwestern part of Punjab. It is a hilly region and is composed of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Along the border with Himachal Pradesh is a region in the northern part of Punjab. It is a hilly region and is composed of igneous and metamorphic rocks.<\/p>\n<p>The region along the border with Himachal Pradesh has the highest potential for mineral deposits because it is composed of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks are formed when magma or lava cools and solidifies.
