Question

in india, the rivers here are short in length but are more swift a)western ghats (b) eastern ghats (c) rann if kachchh (d)plains

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) Western Ghats.

The rivers flowing towards west are both short and swift.

It is because the drainage basins here are quite small.

Also, the coastal plains that connect the Western Ghats to the Arabian Sea are quite narrow.

Because of these two reasons the rivers in this region are short and swift.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option “a”, and it is the Western Ghats.

The rivers that flow towards the west are short in length but very swift is flow.  

The main reason for this is the size of the drainage basin.

Again the coastal plains are quite narrow making the rivers swift while falling in the Arabian Sea.

The gradients of the rivers are also high.
