Answer 2

Answer:

The Western and the Eastern Coastal Plains are an important physical feature of India but are quite different in their geographical features. Some differences are:

Explanation:

1) The Western Coastal Plains are a huge stretch of landmass between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea for a length of 50Km.

The Eastern Coastal Plains are also a huge stretch of landmass but are located between the Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal. This stretch of land is more levelled and is wider than the Western Coastal Plains.

2) The region consists of three sections - The Northern part of the coast from Maharashtra and Goa is called the Konkan Coast. The central stretch in the state of Karnataka called the Karavali Coast and the southern stretch which is in the state of Kerala is called the Malabar Coast.

The northern part of this plain region is called the Northern Circars and the southern part is known as the Coromandel Coast. These plains stretch from Tamil Nadu in the south to West Bengal in the north and go through Andhra Pradesh and Odisha.

3) On the Northern side of the Western Coastal Plains, which is the Konkan region, there are two gulfs called the Gulf of Khambhat and the Gulf of Kutch.

Deltas of India’s major rivers form a huge portion of these plains. The Mahanadi, Godavari, Kaveri, and Krishna are the rivers that drain in these plains. Along with the deltas, the Chilka Lake, a brackish water lake along the eastern coastal plain is also an important part of the Eastern Coastal Plains.
