Answers
Himalayan rivers get water from snow and rain, whereas Peninsular rivers are fed by rain only. The drainage basin ofHimalayan rivers is comparatively larger than the Peninsular rivers. ...Himalayan rivers form a V-shaped valley, while Peninsular watercourses form valley having a U-shape.
Ans 1 = The Himalayan and the Peninsular rivers are different from each other in many ways.
The Himalayan rivers originate from the Himalayas. The peninsular rivers originate from the mountains and the hills that are located in or around the Peninsular Plateau. Significant difference between Himalayan and Peninsular rivers is that while the former are perennial rivers, the latter are seasonal. The Himalayan rivers have water throughout the year. They receive water from rain as well as from melted snow from the lofty mountains. On the other hand, the flow of Peninsular rivers is dependent upon rainfall. During the dry season, even the large rivers have reduced flow of water in their channels.
Since the Himalayan rivers have longer courses, erosion activity is more and the rivers carry down alluvial silt that they deposit in the plains. The peninsular rivers have shorter and swifter courses and so carry down less sediment. The drainage basins of the peninsular rivers are comparatively smaller in size.
Examples of the Himalayan rivers are the Ganga, Indus, Brahmaputra etc while the Godavari, Narmada, Tapi etc are examples of Peninsular rivers.
