Question

5. Which of the following rivers does not form a delta!
(a) Brahmaputra
(b) Amazon
(C) Mississippi
(d) Narmada​

Answer 1

Answer:

(D) Narmada

Explanation:

Conditions for delta formation by a river:

The river must have gentle gradient in its lower course

The river must carry large amount of sediments along it

The coastal plains or area where mouth of river lies should be wide

Though Narmada originates far from Western Ghats and empties into the Arabian Sea, the river flows through a rift valley at a steep gradient which increases its speed. Also, the west coastal plains are less wider than that required for delta formation by Narmada.
