Answer 2

Explanation:

The Western Coastal Plains is a strip of coastal plain 50 kilometres (31 mi) in width between the west coast of India and the Western Ghats hills, which starts near the south of the Tapi River. The plains are located between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea. ... The north Malabar Coast is known as the Karnataka coast.The coastal plains of India are divided into two: the Eastern Coastal Plains and the Western Coastal Plains. The Eastern Coastal Plains lie in between the Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal covering the states of West Bengal, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu. The Western Coastal Plains lie in between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea covering the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka and Kerala.Coastal plains are low lying flat-lands near the sea-shore. They are surrounded by a huge water body such as an ocean or a sea on one side and highlands on the other. Thus, the flat-lands bounded seaward due to the sea-shore and landward due to the highlands. There is a gradual increase in the landmass as one goes from the sea-shore to the highlands which is a characteristic feature of the coastal plains.
