Detailed Solution

The highest peak in the Eastern Ghats is Mahendragiri. The Western and Eastern ghats lie in the western and eastern regions of the Deccan Plateau, comparatively the western ghats are higher in elevation than the eastern ghats, and the eastern ghats are irregular and discontinuous, dissected by rivers draining into the Bay of Bengal. Mahendragiri is the highest peak of the eastern ghats, whereas the highest peaks of the western ghats include Anai Mudi and Doda Betta. The western ghats are responsible for causing orographic rainfall and bringing moist winds; the western ghats are continuous. They can be crossed only through the passes.
