Question
Which one of the following factors is the main reason for the peninsular rivers to flow towards east?
Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)
The main water divide in peninsular rivers is formed by the Western Ghats, which run from north to south close to the western coast.
Most of the major rivers of the peninsula such as the Mahanadi, the Godavari, the Krishna and the Kaveri flow eastwards because of the issue of elevation and drain into the Bay of Bengal.
These rivers flow through open and graded shallow valleys with low gradients and little erosion.
