  • They are continuous and can be crossed through passes and tunnels only. 
  • Their average elevation is 900– 1600 metres.
  • The Western Ghats cause orographic rain by facing the rain-bearing moist winds to rise along the western slopes of the Ghats.
  • The Western Ghats are known by different local names such as:
    • Sahyadri in Maharashtra
    • Nilgiri hill in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu
    • Anaimalai hill and Cardamom hill in Kerala.
  • The height of the Western Ghats progressively increases from north to south.

  • The exact extent of the Vindhyas is loosely defined.
  • Today, the term principally refers to the escarpment that runs north of and roughly parallel to the Narmada River in Madhya Pradesh.
  • Depending on the definition, the range extends up to Gujarat in the west, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in the north and Chhattisgarh in the east.

There is only one rail track between stations A and B on a railway line. One hour after the northbound superfast train N leaves station A for station B, the southbound passenger train S reaches station A from station B. The speed of superfast train is twice that of express train E, while the speed of passenger train S is half of that of train E.
