Answer:
The Eastern Coastal plain-
- The Eastern Coastal plain lies along the east coast of India and is washed by the Bay of Bengal.
- The East Coast plain runs smoothly from the north to the south with a broad plain and level surface.
- Eastern Coastal Plain is broader than the West Coast plain. The width varies from 80 to 100 km.
- The large rivers make wide deltas on the Eastern Coastal Plains.
- The Eastern Coast is smooth and unfit for making ports. So, very few ports are developed there.
- This Coastal plain receives comparatively low rainfall.
Western Coastal Plain
- But the Western Coastal Plain lies along the west coast of India and is washed by The Arabian Sea.
- But the West Coast plain also runs from the north to the south and it is in some places intersected by the mountain ridges.
- But the Eastern Coastal Plain is narrow with a width of 50 to 65 km. In some places it is so narrow that the Western Ghats touch the Sea water.
- But the short swift rivers do not make any deltas on the West Coast.
- But the Western Coast is broken and indented and suitable for ports. For this, a large number of ports are there.
- But the Western Coastal plain receives heavy rainfall.
