Arrange the following prominent mountain passes of the Western Ghats (Sahyadri) in sequential order from North to South:

  1. 1Thal Ghat
  2. 2Bhor Ghat
  3. 3Pal Ghat
  4. 4Shencottah Gap

Cevap

The correct North-to-South order of the mountain passes of the Western Ghats is Thal Ghat, followed by Bhor Ghat, Pal Ghat, and Shencottah Gap.
The sequence is established by tracing the Western Ghats from north to south by latitude: Thal Ghat (19.7∘ N19.7^\circ\text{ N}) is the northernmost pass near Igatpuri; Bhor Ghat (18.7∘ N18.7^\circ\text{ N}) lies south of Thal Ghat near Khandala; Pal Ghat (10.8∘ N10.8^\circ\text{ N}) is a major discontinuity between the Nilgiri and Anaimalai Hills; and Shencottah Gap (9.0∘ N9.0^\circ\text{ N}) is the southernmost pass traversing the Cardamom Hills region.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the latitudinal position of the northern passes located in Maharashtra.
Thal Ghat lies at approximately 19.7∘ N19.7^\circ\text{ N} (connecting Mumbai and Nashik), while Bhor Ghat lies further south at approximately 18.7∘ N18.7^\circ\text{ N} (connecting Mumbai and Pune).
Thal Ghat is situated north of Bhor Ghat within the Maharashtra segment of the Western Ghats.
2
Determine the position of the major pass in the central-southern Western Ghats.
Pal Ghat (Palakkad Gap) is located at approximately 10.8∘ N10.8^\circ\text{ N}, bridging the gap between the Nilgiri Hills to the north and the Anaimalai Hills to the south.
Pal Ghat is located well south of Maharashtra but north of the extreme southern hill ranges.
3
Determine the position of the southernmost gap.
Shencottah Gap is located at approximately 9.0∘ N9.0^\circ\text{ N} near the Cardamom and Agasthyamalai Hills.
Shencottah Gap is the southernmost prominent pass linking Kerala and Tamil Nadu across the Western Ghats.
4
Assemble the complete sequence from North to South.
Thal Ghat (19.7∘ N19.7^\circ\text{ N}) →\rightarrow Bhor Ghat (18.7∘ N18.7^\circ\text{ N}) →\rightarrow Pal Ghat (10.8∘ N10.8^\circ\text{ N}) →\rightarrow Shencottah Gap (9.0∘ N9.0^\circ\text{ N}).
This sequence accurately reflects the decreasing latitude from north to south along the Peninsular shield.
