west flowing rivers- fewer

Narmadha, Tapi, Mahi, Luni, Shabarmati

faults (linear rift, rift valley, trough

run parallel Vindhyas and the Satpuras

do not form deltas, but only estuaries- hard rocks and hence do not carry any good amount of silt,
tributaries of these rivers are very small-don’t contribute any silt

estuary

- estuary is a partially enclosed body of water along the coast where freshwater from rivers
and streams meets and mixes with salt water from the ocean- tourism, fishing,bird
sanctuaries-
- more productive - organic matter
- harbors and ports-sediments and pollutants are filtered out
- prevent erosion and stabilize shorelines

West coast is coast of submergence (except Malabar Coast)

while east coast is an emergent coast.

These imply that sea is deeper in west coast than sea on east coast.

west coast has favourable conditions for natural harbours
