Eastern Coastal Plains
The Eastern Coastal Plain is a wide and long stretch of land that lies between the Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal. The major rivers which pass through this region have carved out broad valleys and deltas. The rainfall varies from a high of above 3,000 mm to a low of 1,000 mm. The region can be divided into seven subdivisions: the Mahanadi delta in Orissa; southern Andhra Pradesh plain, Krishna delta and Godavari delta in Andhra Pradesh; and the Kanyakumari Coast, sandy littoral, Coromandel or Madras Coast in Tamil Nadu.
