☜☆☞ This east coastal plain begins from the north with the plains formed by the Subarnarekha River to extend to the south till Kanyakumari. It thus stretches for nearly 1500 km, with nearly a width of 100 km. to the east of this plain lies the extensive blue waters of the Bay of Bengal and to the west of the plain lies the remnants of Eastern Ghat hills. Compared to the Western Coastal Plain, the East Coastal Plain is wider. The deltas of the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri rivers have formed nearly 25% of the area of this plain. The soil of the deltas is very fertile therefore agriculture is very productive. Specially and delta of the river Krishna is very fertile and is known as the ‘Granary of South India’.

It stretches from the Rann of Kachchh in the north to Kanyakumari in the South. To the East it is bounded by the steep slopes of the Western Ghat and to the west lays the Arabian Sea. Compared to the East Coastal Plain, this West coastal plain is narrower. The west coastal plain becomes narrower gradually from the Kachchh coast to Kanyakumari, where it is narrower unlike the East coastal plain with large rivers and their wide mouths or large deltas, the west coast has short river coming down swiftly from the western slopes of the Western Ghat, the draining into the Arabian Sea without forming any deltas.

Hey Mate !!

The Coastal plains of India are divided into two parts as Eastern Coastal plains and western Coastal plains. Again these both are divided into three - three parts each.

WESTERN COASTAL PLAINS : These start from Rann of Kutch and ends at Kanyakumari. The three parts are Konkan, Canara and Malabar coast. Konkan of Maharastra and Goa, Canara of Karnataka and Malabar of Kerala.

EASTERN COASTAL PLAINS : These starts from valley of Mahanadi and ends at Niligiri hills. Utkal, Coromandel and Circar Coasts are these parts. Utkal of Odisha, Circar of Andhrapradesh and Coromandel of Tamilnadu.
