Question 9

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. This steep and short slope causes rivers originating in the Ghats to flow rapidly over a short distance directly into the sea, thus making them short, swift, and predominantly west-flowing. While rainfall contributes to water volume and forests/soil influence runoff, the fundamental short and swift nature is due to the steep physiographic drop.

Answer

A. The extensive network of backwaters and estuaries along the coastal plains.

Answer

Answer

D. The prevalence of laterite soil and dense tropical evergreen forests in the midlands.
