Answer:
During the formation of the Western Ghats, the Peninsular Plateau happened to undergo a slight tilt towards the East, thus making it higher on Western side as compared to East. Further, the Western Ghats are comparatively new and young mountains whereas Eastern Ghats are arguably one of the oldest not only in India but even in the world. As a result, the Eastern Ghats have underwent lots of erosional activities. Hence, rivers can easily penetrate through this range and create a chain of broken ranges. Moreover, the SW monsoon rains are blocked by the high Western Ghats and this causes orographic rainfall. The water accumulated as a consequence tend to move out as small streams and rivers moved West to East
