Most rivers flowing west from the Western Ghats do not form deltas because of
A. Lack of eroded material
B. The high gradient
C. Lack of vegetation free area
D. Low velocity
Answer: Option B
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Most rivers flowing west from the Western Ghats do not form deltas because of the high gradient and they don't have to travel much distance to drain into the sea. As a result, they don't carry much sediments because they don't have the time to. This prevents them from forming deltas at their mouths and mostly only estuaries are formed.This Question Belongs to Geography >> Indian Rivers, Lakes And Water
