Which statement is most analytical in comparing Eastern Ghats and Western Ghats? A Western Ghats are high and continuous while Eastern Ghats are discontinuous and cut by rivers B Both are continuous snow ranges of equal height C Eastern Ghats are more continuous than Western Ghats D Both are only delta regions
Correct answer: A Western and Eastern Ghats differ in height, continuity and river cutting. Exam tip: check three points in comparison questions.

Why are vast alluvial plains less developed along Peninsular rivers? A They flow through hard rocky plateaus and carry less silt B They bring huge silt from Himalayas C They flow only on marine sand D They are glaciers, not rivers
Correct answer: A Peninsular rivers flow through hard old land and do not bring silt like Himalayan rivers. Exam tip: understand the effect of source area.
