Question

Consider the following statements regarding India's coasts:
1) The west coast of India is a low sedimentary coast.
2) Depositional forms dominate in the west coast of India.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?​

Answer 1

Answer:

(1.) The Western coast of our country is a high rocky retreating coast while the east coast is a low sedimentary coast. This is the main reason behind erosional forms dominating in the west coast while depositional forms dominate in the east coast of India.

(2.) The Western Coastal Plains is a narrow strip of coastal plain between the west coast of India and the Western Ghats hills. West coast is the coast of submergence (except Malabar Coast). West Rivers form estuaries and eastern rivers form the delta. The continental shelf of east coast extends till 500km into the sea. These imply that sea is deeper in west coast than sea on the east coast. So, the west coast has favourable conditions for natural harbours.
