Solution
The correct option is D Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct: the Western Ghats demarcates the westernmost extent of the peninsular plateau. It was formed due to the submergence of a part of the land into the sea. It forms an escarpment on its western slopes, thereby being able to influence rainfall along the west coast.
Statement 2 is correct: the Western Ghats are comparatively higher in elevation and more continuous than the Eastern Ghats. The Eastern Ghats are eroded and cut through by the four major rivers of peninsular India, known as the Godavari, Mahanadi, Krishna, and Kaveri.
