Detailed Solution

Western Ghats and Eastern Ghats are marked by Western and Eastern Ghats.
The Western Ghats marks the edge of the Western edges of the Deccan Plateau, while the Eastern Ghats marks the edges of Eastern edges of the Deccan Plateau. The Western Ghats are higher than the Eastern Ghats and run parallel to the coast. The Eastern Ghats has an elevation of 600 meters, but the Western Ghats have an average elevation of 900– 1600 meters. They are unbroken and can only be crossed bypasses from the Mahanadi Valley to the Nilgiris in the south. The Eastern Ghats are dissected by rivers that flow into the Bay of Bengal, making them discontinuous and uneven. By allowing rain-carrying moist winds to climb along the western slopes of the Ghats, the Western Ghats create orographic rain. So, while both statements are valid, the basis for the assertion is incorrect.
