Answer 1

Answer:

Hey mate here is your answer.

Western Ghats

Western Ghats are also known as Sahyadri in certain parts of India.

• They run parallel to the western coast of India.
• Since they are continuous without any major breaks, hence it is very difficult to pass through them. Although this difficulty has been reduced in the present times due to the advanced transport technology, however in the olden days, it was definitely a huge task to pass the ghats and get onto the opposite side.
• However, the western ghats do have passes such as the Bhor ghat, Pal ghat, and Thal ghat which makes it possible to travel through the western ghats despite the fact that they are continuous.
• Although most of the peninsular rivers drain into the Bay of Bengal, their origin point is the western ghats.
• Important rivers such as the Tungabhadra, the Krishna, the Godavari have their origin point in the western ghats.
• It must be noted that the western ghats of India play a very important role in the distribution of the monsoon rainfall on the western border of India.
• It causes the orographic rainfall due to which the windward side of the mountains receives a lot of rainfall, however, the leeward side remains dry.
• The western ghats consist of evergreen forests too, however, the main crop grown there is the Coffee.
• Anaimudi is the highest peak of peninsular plateau and is located on Anaimalai hills of the Western Ghats

Eastern Ghats

• The eastern ghats run parallel to the eastern coastal plains of India.
• Unlike the western ghats, they are discontinuous in nature and is dissected by the rivers that drain into the Bay of Bengal. As discussed above, most of these rivers have their origin in the western ghats.
• It must be noted that the eastern ghats are lower in elevation than the western ghats.
• The highest peak of Eastern Ghats is the Jindaghara peak (1690 mts.)
• The difference in the elevation levels of the highest peaks in both the ghats can also be compared. Anaimudi which is the highest peak of the western ghats has a height of 2695 mts whereas Jindaghara of eastern ghats is of 1690 mts. This gives us a fair idea of the differences in elevation levels of the hills in both the ghats.
• The main crop produced in the eastern ghats is the Rice, which is also the staple food of the people living in the region.
