Question

Which of the following ranges does NOT form part of the Eastern Ghats?

• A. Nallamala Hills
• B. Anaimalai Hills
• C. Javadi Hills
• D. Mahendragiri Hills

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Anaimalai Hills

• Anaimalai Hills does NOT form part of the Eastern Ghats.

• Nallamala Hills - These are part of the Eastern Ghats, located in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

• Anaimalai Hills - These are actually part of the Western Ghats, not the Eastern Ghats. The name "Anaimalai" means "Elephant Hills" in Tamil, and they're located in Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

• Javadi Hills - These are part of the Eastern Ghats, located primarily in Tamil Nadu.

• Mahendragiri Hills - These are part of the Eastern Ghats, located in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.

• The Eastern Ghats are a discontinuous range of mountains along India's eastern coast, running from West Bengal through Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu.

• Unlike the Western Ghats, which are more continuous, the Eastern Ghats are broken and separated by rivers draining into the Bay of Bengal.
