Explanation:
The western coast of India runs almost straight in north-south direction, right from the Gujarat plains to Kanyakumari. However, it is dotted with a large number of coves, creeks and a few estuaries. The eastern coast of India extends from the Ganga delta to Kanyakumari, facing the Bay of Bengal. It is marked by deltas of great rivers, like the Mahanadi, the Godavari, the Krishna and the Kaveri.
