Answer 2

Answer:

Both Assertion and Reasoning are correct.

Explanation:

• A distributor or distributor channel is a stream that branches off from the main stream channel. Tributaries are a common feature of river deltas. This phenomenon is known as river forking.
• The opposite of a tributary is a tributary that flows toward and joins another stream. Tributaries are often found where streams approach lakes and oceans. It can also occur inland, in alluvial fans, or where tributaries diverge as they approach confluence with larger rivers.
• In some cases, small tributaries can divert large amounts of water from the main channel and thus may later become the main route.
• Distributaries helps the sluggish main river to meet the sea.
