Question

distinguish between tributaries and distributaries.. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

A confluence, where two or more bodies of water meet together, usually refers to the joining of tributaries. The opposite to a tributary is a distributary, a river or stream that branches off from and flows away from the main stream. Distributaries are most often found in river deltas.

 TRIBUTARY:­

• When a number of smaller rivers join the main river,we call those as tributaries.
• It may originate from glaciers,lakes or springs
• Generally,it doesn't change its course.
• Tributaries add water to the main river.
• For example,Yamuna is a tributary of Ganga.

 DISTRIBUTARY:­

•  When the main river breaks up into smaller streams,we get distributaries.
• It is formed from the main river.
• It diverts from the main river in the delta region.
• It takes away water from the main river.
• They are numerous and do not have names.
