Discuss the significant difference between the Himalayan and the Peninsular rivers.

Class: Class 9 Subject: Social Studies Topic: Geography

The Himalayan Rivers ,The Peninsularor Deccan Rivers
1. The Himalayan rivers rise in the snow-covered mountains as such they flow throughout the year. The mountains in which the Deccan rivers rise are not snow-covered. Hence they dry up in summer.

2. The Himalayan rivers flow in leveled Northern Plains. Therefore, they are quite useful for navigation and irrigation. The Peninsular rivers flow on the uneven rocky surface. Therefore they are neither navigable nor useful for irrigation.

3. The Himalayan rivers bring with them fertile alluvium which they deposit in the Indo-Gangetic Plains. The Peninsular rivers do not bring with them enough alluvium. As the current is swift so the deposition activity is negligible.
