Every step explained - no skipped algebra.
The Eastern Ghats form the eastern boundary of the Deccan Plateau, running parallel to India's eastern coastline from Odisha to Tamil Nadu. Unlike the Western Ghats, which form a continuous escarpment, the Eastern Ghats are discontinuous, broken by several river valleys including those of the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri rivers. The Eastern Ghats are generally lower in elevation than the Western Ghats, with peaks like Mahendragiri and Arma Konda representing some of the higher elevations in this range.
