What are the features of The Western Coastal Plains? |
| Answer» The region consists of three sections: the Northern part of the coast is called the Konkan (Mumbai-Goa), the central stretch is called the Kanara or the "Karavali", while the southern stretch is referred to as the Malabar Coast. They contain river, flood plain, lake, swamp, dune and deltaic variations. The marine sequences are deposited on marine scoured surfaces landward and consist of littoral, sublittoral, bar, barrier island, lagoon or bay, tidal marsh or flat, and ultimately alluvial and deltaic facies. | |
