Answer:
Western slopes of Western Ghats are covered with thick forests and not eastern slopes because western slopes lie in windward side and receive heavy rainfall as compared to Eastern Ghats which lie in a rainshadow region. ... This cool air is less able to hold moisture and it is released as rainfall
