The Tsangpo has a very less volume of water while the Brahmaputra is known for its annual floods? Why is this so, when both are to different names of the same river?
Answers
Answer:
because the the brahmaputra is present in india the water from many rivers also along with river brahmaputra this is why this river is known for its annual flood. while in china not many rivers are present so this is reason for tsangpo have less water than in India.
It is because Tsangpo river in Tibet, contains less silt size particles and rate of discharge and flow is comparatively much slower than the Brahmaputra (changing its name after entering India)
Explanation:
The river Brahmaputra is commonly known as the Tsangpo, as it originates from the Manasarovar lakeregion in Tibet, and eventually flows in the southern direction and enters India through the large Himalaya. As it enters India in the state of Arunachal Pradesh, the name changes to Brahmaputra and it flows in the southwestern direction forming the Assam Valley, and further flows downward.
The river carries freshwater and less amount of silt, clay and sand-size particles in the Tibetian region, and as it enters India and flows downward, it washes away the sediments and are carried downward, at a high rate. This river causes annual flood in the Assam valley and its nearby region during the time of monsoon, and when the glaciers in the Himalaya melts.
As it covers less portion in Tibet and covers a vast portion in India, and with high rate of discharge, so the Tsangpo comprises a less volume of water.
Different are given to the same river when the river enters a new country.
