hey dear here is your answer
Eastern Ghats is a stretch of mountain ranges that are not continuous.
Start from the northern tip of Orissa to the Southern tip of Tamil Nadu passing through Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and some parts of Wayanad in Kerala.
Composition of rock is varied from Hard Granite, Quartz, Metamorphic, etc.
Run parallel almost North to South to the east coast of India also known as the Coromandel coast.
Have many breaks in the stretch giving rise to various deltas of rivers that originate in Western Ghats, e.g., Godavari, Cauvery, Krishna, Etc.
Western Ghats are more or less continuous.
Originating from Valsad in Gujarat to Southern tip of Kerala, except for a 30–40 KM gap known as South Palaghat Gap.
Rock consists of mostly Laterite, with an occasional outcrop of Granite.
Run continuously parallel to the west coast of India known as the Konkan coast, Malabar coast, etc.
Very Few breaks along the stretch and these give rise to estuaries, e.g., Tapati, Narmada, etc.
hope it helps you dear
