Deltas are not formed by the western coastal rivers as they form estuaries because they are not able deposit the sediments.
Explanation:
- As the Deccan plateau is eastward sloping and more elevated than the eastern plateaus, it leaves no space for the plateaus to possibly form deltas at the western ghats.
- The distance covered by the western flowing rivers after originating from the western ghats and traveling to the sea is much lower as compared to the east-flowing rivers.
- This is why they can't collect the same amount of sediments and rocky materials which are collected by the eastern flowing rivers.
- This is because of the presence of hard rocks and higher gradients present in the route of western flowing rivers.
- This, in turn, doesn’t allow these rivers to broaden their entry into the sea.
- These are the reasons why the western flowing rivers form estuaries in place of deltas.
