Explanation:

a. The Southern part of the coast from Goa to Kanya Kumari is called Malabar Coast. This part of the coast is not as rocky as the Konkan Coast. All along the coast sand bars have been formed by the sea-waves. The sea waves bring sand with them and deposit it along the coast. These sand bars prevent the water of the small streams from going to the sea. As a result backwaters or lagoons have been formed along this shore. These lagoons are connected by channels or canals. The people go from one place to another in small boats called Kattuvalams.

b. The Northern­most part of the plain that lies between the Gulf of Khambhat and the Gulf of Kutch is called Saurashtra or Kathiawad Peninsula. The plain here is broad and fertile. The rivers Sabarmati, Narbada and Taptl flow through this part. Cotton, groundnut, tobacco and sugarcane are grown here. Coconut palms also grow along the coast. Kqndla and Okha are the major ports of this part. Ahmedabad which is on the banks of Sabarmati river is a big centre of cotton textiles
