The districts of Raigad, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg
of Maharashtra are Enquiry Form formed by a narrow belt of low
land lying between the Arabian Sea and the Sahyadris. Though rugged
and hilly as a whole, the districts which are more commonly known
as the Konkan, have many characteristic features. Near the Sahyadris
the valleys are more open and the hills rugged than towards the
western sea coast where they are more or less flat plateaus made
barren in some parts by a capping of laterite rock, cleft by narrow
steep-sided valleys and ravines through which rivers and streams
find their way from the Sahyadris to the sea. The coast is almost
uniformly rocky and dangerous in most places with a few sandy
shores. The Konkan coast, which is dominated by rocky shores has
many geomorphological features like the dunes, ripple marks, micro
drainage patterns during low tides, wave cut caves, platforms,
cliffs, gorges, honeycomb weathering, etc. The coastal areas are
home to some of the richest, most diverse and fragile of natural
resources.
