What type of relief do the Western Ghats form on the western edge of the Deccan Plateau?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Steep mountain edge

Option A is correct. The Western Ghats form a high and generally steep escarpment along the western margin of the Deccan Plateau, close to the Arabian Sea coast. Their western slope is often sharper, while the eastern side descends more gradually into the interior plateau. This relief affects climate because moist south-west monsoon winds rise against the range and produce heavy rainfall on the windward side, with a rain-shadow effect farther east. The Western Ghats are therefore a mountain barrier and plateau edge, not a lagoon, an alluvial plain, or a glacier. The Ganga plain is formed by river deposition, and Himalayan glaciers are high-altitude ice features in a different physical region.
