Drainage Systems in India

In this Class 9 Geography topic from the chapter Drainage, students learn how water flows across India through river systems, drainage basins, and networks. They explore the Himalayan and Peninsular river systems, compare their origins, courses, seasonal flow, and landforms, and understand patterns such as dendritic, trellis, and radial drainage. The topic also introduces the importance of rivers and lakes, along with concerns related to floods, pollution, and water management.

View options
  1. They flow through rift valleys
  2. They originate from the Himalayas
  3. They are tributaries of the Ganga

View options
  1. Lateral erosion and deposition on gentle slope
  2. Glacial erosion on high mountains
  3. Complete drying of river bed
  4. Course formation by volcanic eruption
View options
  1. River bringing much sediment and slowing near the sea
  2. River flowing fast only in rocky valley
  3. Very strong tidal erosion at the mouth
  4. No alluvial material in the river
View options
  1. When tides and sea currents remove sediments
  2. When the river deposits excessive alluvium
  3. When the river makes many distributaries
  4. When the flow completely stops at the mouth
View options
  1. Basin is a larger area while watershed is a smaller area
  2. Basin is only sea while watershed is only lake
  3. Both are always of the same size
  4. Watershed is an area without rivers
View options
  1. Because tributaries join like branches over hard rocky surface
  2. Because all rivers flow in circles
  3. Because rivers originate only from glaciers
  4. Because every river ends in an inland lake
View options
  1. When hard and soft rock layers occur parallelly
  2. When streams flow outward in all directions from a hill
  3. When a river ends in a closed lake
  4. When no tributary exists
View options
  1. Rivers may end in lakes, marshy areas, or sandy plains without reaching the sea
  2. The rivers join a major river system and ultimately reach the sea
  3. The rivers receive water only from melting glaciers
  4. The river flow remains uniform throughout the year because rainfall is regular
View options
  1. Heavy rainfall and sediment make the river bed shallow
  2. The river completely dries in Assam
  3. The river has no tributary system
  4. The river flows only underground
View options
  1. They spread river water and sediment into many branches to build the delta
  2. They make the river form deep valleys in mountains
  3. They completely stop the sea
  4. They make the river end in a desert
View options
  1. Because the Peninsular landmass is older and relatively stable
  2. Because they flow through recently formed high mountains
  3. Because they always have more glacial water
  4. Because they cannot reach the sea
View options
  1. It is a major right-bank tributary of the Ganga
  2. It is a distributary of the Brahmaputra
  3. It is a left-bank tributary of the Narmada
  4. It is the main stream of the Indus
View options
  1. Intense gully erosion and loose alluvial soil
  2. Glacial deposits and permanent ice
  3. Direct effect of sea waves
  4. Only deposition of volcanic ash
View options
  1. Frequently shifting and braided course
  2. Perfectly straight and fixed line
  3. Completely underground tunnel
  4. Only a chain of waterfalls
View options
  1. Rivers continuously deposit alluvial soil
  2. Rivers carry all soil only to the sea
  3. Rivers only form rocks
  4. Rivers stop rainfall in plains
View options
  1. They travel longer distances and deposit more sediment in the Bay of Bengal
  2. They form volcanoes in the Arabian Sea
  3. They originate in the Himalayas and flow west
  4. They flow only by groundwater
View options
  1. Short course, steep slope and strong marine action prevent sediment accumulation
  2. They cross very long plains
  3. They originate from Himalayan glaciers
  4. They fall only into freshwater lakes
View options
  1. It is a major river with the longest course and large basin in South India
  2. It is a direct distributary of the Ganga
  3. It flows only in Rajasthan
  4. It flows westward and forms an estuary
View options
  1. Water of one river basin is shared by several states
  2. These rivers do not flow outside India
  3. They never receive monsoon water
  4. These rivers do not reach the sea
View options
  1. It links Himalayan drainage with dry north-western regions
  2. It flows only in the Deccan Plateau
  3. It forms a delta in the Bay of Bengal
  4. It has no tributaries
View options
  1. One river takes part of another river's drainage area
  2. All river water becomes vapour
  3. The river always turns into a lake
  4. All tributaries of the river disappear
View options
  1. Because sediment, flat slope and channel shifting also increase floods
  2. Because these rivers never receive rainwater
  3. Because these rivers end in mountains only
  4. Because these rivers have no tributaries
View options
  1. Rivers flowing outward from a dome-shaped landform form radial pattern
