How does young Himalayan terrain affect the sediment load of rivers?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It increases sediment load due to intense erosion

The Himalayas are young fold mountains with steep slopes, relatively unstable rocks and active erosion. Rainfall, snowmelt and landslides break and carry rock material into rivers, so these rivers carry a high sediment load. Option B is incorrect because intense erosion makes rivers sediment-rich, not sediment-free. Exam tip: associate young, high mountains with stronger erosion and greater sediment load.
