Distinguish between: (i) Converging and diverging tectonic plates. (ii) Bhangar and Khadar. (iii)Western Ghats and Eastern Ghats.


Converging plates either collide and crumble or slide under the other whereas diverging plates do not collide or crumble.
In Converging plates, when plate tectonics it come towards each other whereas in Diverging plates, when plate tectonics it move against each other.
Bhangar is above the level of flood plain whereas in Khadar there is Flooded almost every year and thus every time new alluvium is deposited and also it is suited for agriculture.
Western ghats are continuous must be crossed through passes, higher at south, Lie parallel to Arabian sea, it’s highest peak is Anai Mudi, and it’s average height is 900 – 1600m. whereas Eastern ghats are discontinuous and can be crossed without passes, higher at north, lie parallel to bay of Bengal, it’s highest peak is Mahendragiri and it’s average height is 600m.

Final Answer:

Converging plates collide and crumble whereas Diverging plates do not collide or crumble.
Bhangar is not suited for agriculture whereas Khadar is suited for agriculture.
Western ghats are continuous whereas Eastern ghats are discontinuous.
