4. There are more salt pans on the western coast of India than the eastern coast because- *
Many large peninsular rivers drain their water in the eastern coast than the western coast.
The buoyancy of seawater has decreased in the eastern coast.
Surface temperature of seawater on the western coast is high.
There is a movement of seawater in the form of ocean currents only in the western coast.
Answers
Answer:
Because there are oceans which have high content of salt or due to large no. of water is available there.
1. West coast is coast of submergence (except Malabar Coast) while east coast is an emergent coast. These imply that sea is deeper in west coast than sea on east coast. So, west coast has favourable conditions for natural harbours.
2. West Rivers form estuaries and eastern rivers form delta. Therefore it becomes difficult for ships to reach the east coast covered with sediments.
3. High Tides hit coast real hard. So coastal erosion, natural ports
4. Continental shelf on east extends up to 500 km into the sea, so, difficult to develop good ports and harbours. Ships can enter and leave only during tides.
