Geography · Indian Drainage System
Consider the following statements regarding the evolution and characteristics of the Peninsular drainage system in India: 1. The lack of meandering in Peninsular rivers is primarily due to their fixed courses in hard rock terrains and the absence of soft alluvial plains. 2. The main reason why rivers like Narmada and Tapi do not form deltas is the subsidence of the eastern part of the Peninsula during the Tertiary period. 3. Peninsular rivers mostly flow towards the Bay of Bengal due to the tilting of the Peninsular block in a north-eastern direction. 4. The tributaries of the Ganga like Chambal, Betwa, and Ken originate in the Peninsular region but flow northward due to the regional slope of the Malwa plateau. Which of the statements given above are correct?
