Question
Give geographical reasons for the following:
There are fewer natural ports on the eastern coast of India.
Solution
- The eastern coast borders the Bay of Bengal. It has formed as a result of the depositional work of rivers.
- The east-flowing rivers from all parts of the country empty in the Bay of Bengal on the east coast.
- Since the slope of the land is gentle, rivers flow at lower velocities and deposit the sediments brought with them at the coast.
- As a result, deltas are found along this coast. It is therefore difficult for ships to reach the East coast thus indicating less likely conditions favourable for the establishment of natural ports.
