(3) (1) The eastern coast of India is formed due to the depositional work of eastward
flowing rivers meeting the Bay of Bengal.

(2) Most of the western coast of India is a coast of submergence. On the other hand,
eastern coast of India is a coast of emergence. As its effect, the sea is deeper in
the west than the sea on the eastern coast.
(3) Westward flowing rivers meeting the Arabian Sea form estuaries at many places
on the western coast. On the other hand, eastward flowing rivers meeting the Bay
of Bengal form deltas at many places on the eastern coast. As its effect, it becomes
difficult for ships to reach the east coast covered with sediments. Therefore,
there are fewer natural ports on the eastern coast of India.
(4) (1) For more than three centuries Brazil was under Portuguese rule.
(2) It has overcome global financial difficulties in the late 20th century.

As its effect, carnivores are also seen on a large scale in these areas.
(3) For example, deer are seen on a large scale in grasslands areas of Brazil. As its
effect, Jaguar are also seen in large scale in this region.
(4) 
For example, insects in grass is food of Indian bustard. Therefore, Indian
