The Eastern Ghats are a discontinuous range of mountains along [[India]]'s eastern coast. The Eastern Ghats run from the northern [[Odisha]] through [[Andhra Pradesh]] to [[Tamil Nadu]] in the south passing some parts of [[Karnataka]] and in the [[Wayanad district|Wayanad region]] of Kerala. They are eroded and cut through by four major rivers of peninsular India, viz. [[Godavari River|Godavari]], [[Mahanadi]], [[Krishna River|Krishna]], and [[Kaveri]]. The mountain ranges run parallel to the [[Bay of Bengal]]. The [[Deccan Plateau]] lies to the west of the range, between the Eastern Ghats and the Western Ghats. The [[coastal plain]]s, including the [[Coromandel Coast]] region, lie between the Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal. The Eastern Ghats are not as high as the [[Western Ghats]]. The Eastern Ghats are older than the Western Ghats, and have a complex geologic history related to the assembly and breakup of the ancient [[supercontinent]] of [[Rodinia]] and the assembly of the [[Gondwana]] supercontinent. The Eastern Ghats are made up of [[charnockite]]s, [[granite]] [[gneiss]], [[khondalite]]s, [[metamorphic]] [[Gneiss|gneisses]] and [[quartzite]] rock formations. The structure of the Eastern Ghats includes [[Thrust fault|thrusts]] and [[strike-slip fault]]s<ref>{{cite journal | url = https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007%2FBF03052185.pdf#page-1 | doi=10.1007/BF03052185 |journal = Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences, Section B
