Detailed Solution

The above statement is incorrect. The Eastern Ghats are a range of discontinuous mountains east of the Peninsular plateau. They are bounded by the Eastern coastal plains on their west. The Eastern Ghats are wider as compared to the Western Ghats. It covers the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Odisha. This region is rich in iron ore, limestone, and bauxite. Mahanadi, Krishna, Kaveri, and Godavari rivers cut through these ranges. These rivers are wide and form deltas near the seas, which is why the Eastern Ghats are discontinuous. It has rich biodiversity conserved by the three national parks and several wildlife sanctuaries like the Krishna and Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuaries. Major tiger reserves also exist in this region. The forest cover has been decreasing rapidly, with several endemic species facing the threat of extinction.
The correct statement would be that the Western Ghats are continuous and regular, not the Eastern Ghats.
