Question

Write a short note.

Western coastal plain

Answer 1

1. India is blessed with a long coastline extending for approximately 7500 km. It lies to the western and eastern part of the Peninsula.
2. The western coast borders the Arabian Sea and is, by and large, a rocky coast. At places, spurs taking off from the Western Ghats have extended right up to the coast, which is also less wide.
3. Rivers originating from Western Ghats are short and swift and hence they form estuaries and not deltas.
