Which of the following is not a characteristic of peninsular rivers?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
They have meandering tendencies, often shifting their beds.
💡 Explanation:
Peninsular rivers are characterized by seasonal flow, flowing through shallow graded valleys with low gradients and little erosion, and most have reached a mature stage of development. However, meandering tendencies and frequent bed-shifting are NOT characteristics of peninsular rivers. These rivers have relatively stable courses compared to Himalayan rivers which are young and actively shifting.
