Hi friends, in the comments number of PPL have asked why Puducherry is on west coast. The reason is Puducherry is made of four districts one of them is mahe, the mahe is located on west coast.

[@bobyjohn7710]

Mahi is in Kerala but it is th the part of puducherry

[@gopakumark1576]

Awesome video. Being from Palakkad , the Palakkad gap formation is very interesting to know. The part of Western ghat which got separated out and formed the gap is still in Madagascar. The flaura and Fauna found there is very same to that in Western ghats.

Hi Guys thanks for watching the video, For past few weeks I have been making videos on Indian rivers and mountains and there are many places and names which I have come across first time. I really want to apologize if I have messed up pronunciation of some places. Please consider them outcome of my lack of awareness. I wish you all very best of luck in your preparation.

Thank you for the wonderful 3D and explanation. In schools may students dislike Geography subject because it was not explained properly. Even now I think your explanation is more beneficial for the college students than school students. Because some how I feel the school subjects are only to gain marks hence on memory power. But I liked it very much. In fact I was in search of this.

Is Nilgiri mountain a part of Western ghat or is it a separate mountain range considered which borders between western and eastern ghat ?

[@zetaupsc]

Nilgiri is part of western ghats

[@karthikprasad-h4j]

Nice content. Thanks for presenting. I just have 1 question - I have noticed some of the hills in Western Ghats, particularly in the Chikmagalur area, have sedimentary rock formations even close to the peak. This must be around 1500 to 1800m above sea level. Any explanation for this? Thanks in advance..

[@zetaupsc]

Thanks for the appreceation. Regarding western ghats in chikmanglur i am not specifically aware of that regions geoglogy, but most mountains are formed due to folding generally by collision of plates. due to this the sedimentary rocks in sea bed or lower regions gets uplifted and metamorphosed. Hence it is very common to find sedimentary rocks on mountain tops. Even mt everest on its peaks have sedimentary rocks and many fossils are found in these rocks.

[@zetaupsc]

i wanted to make this video more of a concept related thing than giving raw data, i agree that peak heights are also useful, that is why in later videos i have included peak heights.

[@ffcslwildlifedocumentaryfi6221]

It would be greatly appreciated if you could share your opinion on Sri Lanka's relation to the biodiversity of Western Ghats.

[@zetaupsc]

Srilanka has great biodiversity and it is a continuation of western ghats hot spot. i will try in future to make a video on that. The channel is mainly based on syllabus of an exam held in india, so the focus mainly remains on indian geography. They do include world geography but that is less detailed than indian geography, hence the focsu is on indian geography. Thanks for watching the video.

[@subbaraogopu9327]

Sri well explained but i want here how civilization has been developed in the rivers side & mountain side.

[@zetaupsc]

Sorry I did not get ur question

[@Arunkumar-sx2up]

Actually shenkottai gap connects kollam(Keralam) & Shenkottai(Tamil nadu) and not connecting Madurai and Kottayam

[@zetaupsc]

Yes u are right these are the two immediate points in either sides of pass but madurai and Kottayam are two imp cites connected via these hence there name is used. Consider it this way that thal Ghar actually connects kasara and nashik but we always say that it connects Mumbai and nashik

[@Arunkumar-sx2up]

@@zetaupsc Then you can say Kollam and Madurai bcos Kollam is bigger and important than Kottayam in Keralam

[@Arunkumar-sx2up]

Kollam is one of the oldest and biggest cities in Kerala since ancient times. Kollam city is designed and build by Mar sapir iso. Ancient travelers ibin battuta and Marco polo mentioned Kollam sea port as the Finest in Keralam

[@Arunkumar-sx2up]

And Kollam city is known as Prince of Arabian sea. Kottayam town is no where near to shenkotai than Kollam. Kollam is the biggest and nearest city to shenkotai gap

[@anandkulkarni8313]

First time I learned a lot more about the Western Ghats. The flow of rivers in the opposite directions in the north and the south are strange and need a better explanation.

[@zetaupsc]

Great you liked it. The rivers in penisnular region flow in east because the slope of peninsular plateau is in west, the western ghats are younger and taller while eastern ghats are older and erroded. in north the aravalli forms a water divide, dividing into ganga river system which flows in east, and indus system which flows in west.

Thanks. Good narration. But the pronunciation of South Indian names of ghats hills and rivers is horrible. Takes very little effort but not taken.

[@zetaupsc]

Thanks for appreciation. Regarding pronunciation of names I had already apologized in advance in one of my post. And I would humbly disagree with your remark that it takes little effort for correct pronunciation. There hundreds of names of not thousands in this whole map series and most of these names I have only read and never heard in people's conversation. Moreover, unlike English words there are no reliable source for pronunciation of these names and remember them and accurately pronounce while creating audio track is while another level of challenge. Moreover many places are pronounced differently in English and local language like Pune or Anand or roorkee. That is why I focused on keeping the spellings accurate as it will help the viewer correlate and understand the place.

[@toyodanissi8002]

FYI , 'ghat' is a deformed word of 'kadu' / 'காடு' meaning forest. Suffix word 'mala'/'malai' மலை meaning mountain

The himalyan rivers were fully developed around 20 lakh years ago, some Peninsular rivers are much older. But dear first human walked in Africa around 2 lakh years ago so both himalyan n Peninsular rivers were fully developed when humans walked the earth

India was unlucky of losing Madagascar few millions ago but got lucky when it lost Pakistan and Bangladesh 75 years back.

[@zetaupsc]

Let me try to put an counter argument 1. 2 million PPL died due to partition, that would not have happed 2. 4 wars were fought between India n pak, that would not have happened. 3. So much fund is spent on security because of dual boundary threat, we could have used that money for PPL 4. There would have been little opposition to India's claim for permanent seat in unsc 5. India could have easy access to middle Asia and west Asia, there could have been much better trade integration and India could be leader of south n Central Asia. 6. Most problems in Pakistan is due to there thinking of Indian threat, so Pakistan would not be dominated by army. 7. If United India would have never interfered in Afghanistan, hence no Taliban would have formed. Terrorism would not have germinated in central Asia. 8. Pipelines from Iran and Russia would have been reality making fuel cheaper n providing boost to economy. 9. There wouldn't have been a Kashmir issue or Kashmir insurgency.

Most of us Indians speak English in a way that is much different than British or American English. But we still speak. Point being when non natives are going to name a place they are going to b inaccurate. The inaccuracies does not mean anyone is trying to humiliate other, we speak English in a different accent not for humiliating. English but because of our local language influences.
