Question

Why the eastern coastal plain is very useful for agriculture?

Answer 1

• The East Coast Plain is formed by fine alluvial soil and is fertile especially on the deltas. Consequently agriculture is developed.
  
• The West Coast Plain lies along the west coast of India and is washed by the Arabian Sea.
  
• But the West Coast Plain is formed by coarse grained soil. It is infertile and agriculturally not prosperous except in the Malabar Coast.
