Question

The Eastern Coastal Plain is more important than the Western Coastal Plain. Justify the statement.

Answer 1

The eastern coastal plains are more fertile than the western coastal plains because the eastern plains are supplied by the rivers of the Deccan plateau.

The plains along the Bay of Bengal (east part) are wide and level.
→ The northern part is known as the Northern Circar, while the southern part is known as the Coromandel Coast.
→ Large rivers such as the Mahanadi, the Godavari, the Krishna and the Kaveri have formed extensive delta on eastern coast.
→ Lake Chilika is an important feature along the eastern coast.
