Answer:
Karnataka, formerly (until 1973) Mysore, an Indian state, located on the west coast of the subcontinent.
It is bounded by the states of Goa and Maharashtra in the north, Telangana in the east, Tamil Nadu in the south, and Kerala in the south and west
The state extends about 675 kilometers from north to south and 480 kilometers from east to west.
Its coastline is about 180 miles [320 km] wide.
The capital is Bengaluru (Bangalore), near the southeast border.
In terms of area, Karnataka is divided into four distinct regions - a coastal plain, mountain ranges (Western Ghats), Karnataka Plateau in the east, and a tract of black soil
The coastal plain represents the continuation of the northern Malabar coast, where sand dunes enter the plains and small lakes.
The beach itself is difficult to reach, out of the sea.
To the east of the coastal plain, the Western Ghats rise steeply to reach an altitude of between 2,500 to 3,000 feet (750 to 900 meters).
The baseless area of the Ghats is known as Malnad.
This region is waterlogged, and extends from its many flowing streams to the plains, including the Shavati River, the source of the great Jog (Gersoppa) slope (253 meters high).
