The Peninsular Rivers

The Peninsular Rivers topic for Class 9 Geography, under the chapter Drainage, introduces the major rivers flowing across the Peninsular Plateau. Students learn how these older rivers are shaped by the plateau’s relief, hard rocks, relatively fixed courses and seasonal rainfall. The topic explains east-flowing rivers such as the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri, as well as west-flowing rivers like the Narmada and Tapi, including their drainage patterns, valleys, basins, deltas and estuaries.
