Question

why does the Brahmaputra form a braided stream in Assam?

Answer 1

River Brahmaputra flows down from its original height in Tibet, to the lower level basins of Assam, with great force that it forms a braided set of large streams. As it flows on, it receives large volumes of water from Himalayan streams, leading to this braided formation.

Brahmaputra is one of the largest rivers of Asia, flowing through China, India and Bangladesh, before it empties into the Bay of Bengal.

Answer 2

Brahmaputra is one of the major rivers in Asia. It flows through India, China and Bangladesh.

It forms a braided stream near Assam because it flows with great amounts of sediments and is ranked second in sediment load.

It carries sediment from Himalayas and southern hills and deposits in Assam in a braided pattern.
