Study Notes
Characteristics of River Systems
- A characteristic of peninsular rivers is that they are older and have a more stable course.
Himalayan vs Peninsular Rivers
- A key difference between Himalayan rivers and peninsular rivers is that Himalayan rivers are young and have a dynamic course due to their location in a tectonically active region.
Factors Affecting Himalayan Rivers
- The factor that contributes to the distinct characteristics of Himalayan rivers is their location in a tectonically active region, which causes them to be young and have a dynamic course.
