The course shifting tendency of the Kosi river is mainly linked with what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Deposition of heavy sediments brought from the Himalayas and the low gradient of the plains

The Kosi carries a very large sediment load from the Himalayas into the flat, low-gradient plains of Bihar. Deposition raises or blocks parts of its channel, causing the river to shift its course. Sea tides do not cause the Kosi's course changes in its Himalayan or plain reaches. Exam tip: remember the Kosi as the “Sorrow of Bihar,” associated with floods and channel shifting.
