The district is covered by Deccan lava flows belonging to the basaltic plateau which are uniform in composition. Geologically, the entire district is occupied by Deccan trap Basalt, which is hard in nature. These are having less cracks, fissures, and joints. Basalt are poor aquifers. Lateritic soils cover almost the whole district except for two pockets one in the west and other in the east, having deep black and red sandy soils.
