What are the Eastern Ghats?

Answer:

• From the Mahanadi Valley to the Nilgiris in the south, the Eastern Ghats are present. The Eastern Ghats cross through several areas of Karnataka as they travel from northern Odisha via Andhra Pradesh to Tamil Nadu in the south
• The four principal rivers of peninsular India—the Godavari, Mahanadi, Krishna, and Kaveri—erode and pierce them
• Between the Eastern Ghats and the Western Ghats, to the west of the range, is the Deccan Plateau. The Coromandel Coast region is among the coastal lowlands that stretch between the Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal
• Numerous small and medium-sized rivers that flow through South India’s eastern coastal plains originate in the Eastern Ghats
• Mahendragiri (1,501 meters) is the highest peak in the Eastern Ghats. To the southeast of the Eastern Ghats lie the Shevaroy Hills and the Javadi Hills
