why are the rivers of peninsular Plateaus non-perennial? 3 points.
Answers
The rivers flow in to the Bay of Bengal because of the gradient or slope of the land. The Western Ghats, which stretches between south Gujarat and Kerala-Tamil-Nadu, are the highest points in peninsular India. The mountains also forms the water divide. This means that rivers flowing down from the eastern slopes of the hills flow through the gradually sloping land into the Bay of Bengal. Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery are the big rivers that have their sources in the Western Ghats and flow through the peninsula into the Bay of Bengal. The Bhima, Tungabhadra and other rivers join the bid three peninsular rivers.
Peninsular rivers are non-perennial. They don't flow throughout the year. Because they depends upon the rainfall. As they are not originated from the Himalayas they are not perennial.
