Question 7

Which of the following statements accurately describes a key difference or characteristic feature when comparing the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats of the Indian Peninsular Plateau?

Accepted Answer

C. The Western Ghats are the primary source region for major peninsular rivers like the Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri, which flow eastward. — The Western Ghats form a continuous mountain range along the western edge of the Deccan Plateau and act as a major water divide. Consequently, most significant peninsular rivers like the Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri originate in the Western Ghats and flow eastward across the plateau. The Western Ghats are continuous and higher, receiving more rainfall, while the Eastern Ghats are discontinuous and lower. Anamudi is indeed the highest peak, but it is located in the Western Ghats (Anamalai Hills), and Mahendragiri is in the Eastern Ghats.

Answer

A. The Western Ghats are a discontinuous chain of hills, deeply dissected by eastward-flowing rivers, whereas the Eastern Ghats form a continuous range.

Answer

B. The Eastern Ghats are generally higher in elevation and experience higher annual rainfall compared to the Western Ghats.
