What is the major effect of the general slope of the Deccan Plateau on river flow?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Most rivers flow eastward and drain into the Bay of Bengal

The Deccan Plateau generally slopes from west to east. Therefore, most Peninsular rivers, such as the Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri and Mahanadi, flow eastward and drain into the Bay of Bengal. The Narmada and Tapi are important west-flowing exceptions, so option C is not true for most rivers. Exam tip: learn a river’s direction together with the plateau slope and the sea or bay into which it drains.
