Which of the following is a feature of the Eastern Coastal Plain of India?
Which of the following is a feature of the Eastern Coastal Plain of India?
निम्नलिखित में से कौन-सा भारत के पूर्वी तटीय मैदान की विशेषता है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Wider and formed by alluvial deposits/ व्यापक और जलोढ़ निक्षेपों से निर्मित
Explanation
The Eastern Coastal Plain of India is broad and flat because it is formed by the deposition of alluvial soil carried by major rivers such as the Ganga River, Godavari River, Krishna River, and Kaveri River.
These rivers slow down as they approach the Bay of Bengal, depositing sediments and forming large deltas. Continuous deposition makes the plain wide, level, and very fertile.
भारत का पूर्वी तटीय मैदान चौड़ा और समतल होता है क्योंकि यह गंगा नदी, गोदावरी नदी, कृष्णा नदी और कावेरी नदी जैसी नदियों द्वारा लाए गए जलोढ़ निक्षेपों से बना है।
ये नदियाँ जब बंगाल की खाड़ी में गिरती हैं, तो उनकी गति कम हो जाती है और वे गाद जमा करके बड़े डेल्टा बनाती हैं। इससे मैदान चौड़ा, समतल और अत्यंत उपजाऊ बन जाता है।
❌ Why Other Options Are Wrong (Bilingual)
1. Presence of numerous estuaries (अनेक ज्वारनदमुख):
- Eastern coast has deltas, not estuaries (estuaries are common on the western coast).
- पूर्वी तट पर डेल्टा बनते हैं, ज्वारनदमुख नहीं (ये पश्चिमी तट पर अधिक मिलते हैं)।
2. Located between Western Ghats and Arabian Sea:
- This describes the Western Coastal Plain.
- यह पश्चिमी तटीय मैदान का वर्णन है।
3. Narrow and rocky (संकीर्ण और शैलमय):
- Western coastal plains are narrow and rocky, not eastern.
- पश्चिमी तटीय मैदान संकीर्ण और शैलमय होते हैं, पूर्वी नहीं।
📌 Extra Facts (Bilingual)
1. Major Deltas / प्रमुख डेल्टा:
- Includes the Sundarbans (world’s largest delta).
- इसमें सुंदरबन (विश्व का सबसे बड़ा डेल्टा) शामिल है।
2. Subdivisions / उपविभाग:
- Northern part → Northern Circars, Southern part → Coromandel Coast.
- उत्तरी भाग → नॉर्दर्न सर्कार, दक्षिणी भाग → कोरोमंडल तट।
3. Cyclones / चक्रवात:
- This coast is more prone to cyclones from the Bay of Bengal.
- यह तट बंगाल की खाड़ी से आने वाले चक्रवातों से अधिक प्रभावित होता है।
4. Agriculture / कृषि:
- Known for rice cultivation due to fertile alluvial soil.
- उपजाऊ मिट्टी के कारण यहाँ धान की खेती प्रमुख है।
