{'tapi river valleys': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'western ghats': [1, 0, 2, 0], 'tapi river': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'old rift valleys': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'highest peak': [6, 0, 1, 1], 'northern region': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'anai mudi': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'satpura': [0, 1, 0, 2], 'narmada': [20, 1, 18, 13]}
The statement that is not correct is:
The Western Ghats are relatively higher in their northern region.
In reality, the Western Ghats are relatively higher in their southern region, not the northern region. The highest peaks of the Western Ghats, including Anai Mudi, are located in the southern part of the range. The elevation gradually decreases as one moves northward along the Western Ghats. Therefore, the statement is incorrect.
