Answer 1

Hello Friend...✌

All water flows downhill, from areas of high elevation towards areas of lower elevation. The bending of the contour lines near the river always points uphill, which means RIVERS ALWAYS FLOW IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION FROM THE WAY THE CONTOUR LINES BEND.

Hope this helps you...❤

Hey Avani

To find the direction of the river see the spot heights

And to find the banks ....imagine urself standing in the the direction of the river and you'll figure out which bank

In the pic as u can see the spots are decreasing from 542,301,233

So the directionof the river is North West

Hope it helped!

All the best for tomorrow!!
