Question

difference between tributary and distributary ​

Answer 1

When there is a confluence of two or more water bodies that join to form a main water body, then those water bodies are known as tributaries.

Distributaries are the exact opposite. When the main water body gets distributed into different small water bodies, then those water bodies are known as distributaries.
