Ghats (mountains) Ghats (mountains) Ghats refer to two converging mountain ranges in south-eastern India, called the Eastern Ghats and Western Ghats, running along the eastern and western seaboards of the country. The Eastern Ghats parallel the Coromandel Coast. The average elevation of the range is above sea level. The Eastern Ghats lie at a distance of from the coast, but at Vishākhapatnam they form precipitous escarpments along the Bay of Bengal. The chief rivers that cut through the mountains are the Godāvari, Krishna, and the Kaveri. The Western Ghats extend from the southern portion of the valley of the River Tāpi along
Bull Run Mountains which converge in the center of the range. The northern section of the range consists of a solitary ridge, which dies out towards the center of the range, whereupon two ridges to the west gain prominence. In the southern section the central ridge dies out as well and the western-most ridge solely comprises the range. The section of the Bull Run Mountains south of Thoroughfare Gap is sometimes referred to as the Pond Mountains. The Broken Hills intersect the range south of I-66 in the southern section. The Bull Run Mountains are a geological extension of the same formation that
