Explanation:

During the Mesozoic era, the western desert region was under the sea. This can be corroborated by the evidence available at wood fossils park at Aakal and marine deposits around Brahmsar, near Jaisalmer. The discovery of Oil fields in the region also corroborates this fact.
The Western Ghats are narrow in the middle and get broader towards north and south.
The Western Ghats increase in Height from North to South.
The west coastline is a submergent coastline. As a result the rivers here form estuaries and not deltas.
