Question 6

Kerala's unique physiography significantly influences its river systems. Which of the following geographical features is the primary reason for the short length, high velocity, and predominantly west-flowing nature of most rivers in the state?

Accepted Answer

B. The steep gradient of the Western Ghats on its western face, close to the Arabian Sea. — The Western Ghats rise abruptly and very close to the Arabian Sea on Kerala's western side.
