There are several reasons why the western rivers do not form the delta.
Explanation:
Instead, they form estuaries. This is because,
- The eastward slope consists of Deccan plateau. In other words, the western coast is higher when compared to eastern coast. Thus there is no ground presented for delta based formation .
- The west flowing rivers are come from western ghat. The western coast consists of hard rocks. So it is not possible.
- The hard rocks don’t allow west flowing rivers to widen their mouth. Hence they formed estuaries instead of deltas.
