Answer 2

The peninsular rivers are very different from the rivers that originate from the himalayas for many reasons, where some reasons for why himalayan rivers are different from peninsular rivers are:

• Himalayan rivers are 'perennial', they flow 'throughout' the year without drying up where as the peninsular rivers aren’t perennial they don’t flow throughout the year.

• Himalayan rivers contain huge deltas whereas the peninsular ones have estuaries.

• The Himalayan rivers are formed by melting of glaciers whereas the peninsular ones are not.

• The Himalayan rivers have larger river basin than peninsular rivers.
