Here's your answer....

Explanation:

• India is blessed with the long coastline extending for approximately 7500 km.
• It lies to the western and eastern part of the Peninsula.
• It's western and eastern coastline show remarkable dissimilarities.
• The western coast borders the Arabian Sea.
• It is by and large a rocky coast.
• At places, spurs taking off from the western ghats have extended right up to the coast.
• It's width is also less.
• Rivers originating from Western ghats are short and swift and hence they form estuaries and not deltas.
• The eastern coast borders the Bay of Bengal.
• It has formed as a result of depositional work of rivers.
• Many east flowing rivers starting from the western and eastern ghats meet this coast.
• Because of the gentle slope of the land, rivers flow at lower velocities and deposit the sediments brought with them at the coast.
