Question 5 of 5
Peninsular rivers are characterized by fixed course, absence of meanders and non-perennial flow of water. The factors responsible for this are
- Short course of the Peninsular rivers
- Steep slopes in the Peninsular region
- Hard rocks in the Peninsular region
Select the correct answer code:
CorrectSolution: d)
Hard rocks, steep slope and short course mean the sedimentation will be less. So, rivers will not be able to change courses. Moreover, hard rocks do not allow bank erosion. With the steep slopes besides, there will be no meandering. So, ox-bow lakes cannot be formed too. So, no possibility of shifting courses.
