Well,
Explanation:
The eastern Ghats & the wastern Ghats are two mountain ranges from the peninsular India.
The Western Ghats,also known as Sahyadri,is a range more or less parallel to the western coast of India. Height wise, it is shorter than the eastern Ghats which range passes through Odisha, Andhra Pradesh & Tamil Nadu.
- Himalayan rivers get water from snow and rain, whereas Peninsular rivers are fed by rain only.
- The drainage basin of Himalayan rivers is comparatively larger than the Peninsular rivers.
- Himalayan rivers water helps in the irrigation of Northern Plains. In contrast, Peninsular rivers irrigate Deccan Plateau.
Answer:
The Western Ghats runs parallel to the western coast in a north-south direction from the Tapi River to Kanyakumari. But the Eastern Ghats runs in a north-east to a south-west direction parallel to the eastern coast from Orissa to the Nilgiri hills. Western Ghat’s average width is 50 to 80 km. But Eastern Ghat’s width varying from 100 to 200 km. The Western Ghats is a source of many large rivers which flow in Peninsular India. But no big river originates from the Eastern Ghats. The Western Ghats is almost perpendicular to the south-west monsoons coming from the Arabian Sea and causes heavy rainfall in the western coastal plain. But the Eastern Ghats is almost parallel to the monsoons coming from the Bay of Bengal and does not cause much rainfall. The Western Ghats continuous and can be crossed through passes only. But the Eastern Ghats has been divided into several parts by large rivers. Western Ghats average elevation is 900 to 1,100 meters above sea-level. But the average elevation of Eastern Ghats is about 600 metres above sea level.
