Most of the peninsular Rivers flow eastwards
Explanation:
- The Peninsular Plateau was slightly tilted towards the East during the formation of the Western Ghats and therefore the Western side increased toward the western side when compared to the Eastern side.
- In comparison, the Western Ghats are comparatively new mountains, while the East Ghats is undoubtedly not only one of the oldest in India but also in the world. As a result, many erosion activities have taken place in the Eastern Ghats.
- Rivers can enter this range easily and create a chain of broken ranges. In addition, the high western Ghats block the SW monsoon rains and cause orographic precipitation.
- As a result, the water collected continues to scatter through small streams and rivers. This will be better because the gradient is favorable west to east because the geology is conducive and easily erodable.
