The rivers ______ and Tapti flow almost parallel to each other but empty themselves in opposite directions.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Narmada.
- The rivers Narmada and Tapti flow almost parallel to each other but empty themselves in opposite directions.
- Narmada and Tapi along with other small rivers originating from the Western Ghats and falling in the Arabian Sea form estuaries in place of deltas.
- This is due to the fact that these rivers, especially Narmada and Tapi, flow through hard rocks and are not able to form distributaries before they enter the sea.
