Question

Why most of the peninsular rivers have straight and linear courses?​

Answer 1

Due to hard rock bed and lack of sand

and silt they have straight and linear

courses. Also the drainage basins of

these rivers comparatively small in size

than that of Himalayan rivers. These

rivers pass through plateau region.

During the dry season, even the large rivers have reduced flow of water in their channels. The Peninsular rivers have shorter and shallower courses as compared to their Himalayan counterparts.
