Question

State whether each of these sentences is true (T) or false (F).
The eastern coastal plains are much broader.
(A) True
(B) False

Answer 1

Hint:
The coastal plains of the East are part of the vast expanse of India, between the Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal. It is broad and measured over the Plains of the West Coast and extends from Tamil Nadu in the south to West Bengal in the north via Andhra Pradesh and Odisha.

Complete step by step solution:
True, the East Coast plain is relatively wide compared to the west coast plain. Lake Chilka is a reservoir of iron ore along the east coast. It is located in the province of Odisha and extends south of the Mahanadi Delta. Deltas of many Indian rivers form a large part of these valleys. The Mahanadi, Godavari, Kaveri, and Krishna rivers overflow these plains. The region receives both northeast and southwest rainfall with an annual rainfall of between 1,000 and 3,000 mm. The width of the plains varies between 100 to 120 miles. It is known locally as the Utkal Plains in the Northern Territory between Cossye and Rushikulya Rivers, the Northern Circuits in the central part between Rushikulya and Krishna Rivers and, like the Coromandel Coast in the South from the south of the Krishna River to the southern parts of Mainland India at Cape Comoror. This continental shelf reaches up to 300 miles of sea, making it difficult to develop beautiful harbors and harbors.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Note:
The East Coast plains extend between the Eastern Ghats and the sea from the Subarnarekha River to Kanyakumari. It is wider than the Plains on the West Coast because rivers like Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri form a delta.
