Question 7 of 19
7. Question
2 pointsThe Subansiri, a major tributary of the Brahmaputra River, which has its origin in Tibet, is an antecedent river. Which of the following statements correctly explains the meaning of antecedent river?
Correct
Solution: d)
NCERT Class XI India Physical Environment Geography , Page – 26
An antecedent stream is a stream that maintains its original course and pattern despite the changes in underlying rock topography. A stream with a dendritic drainage pattern, for example, can be subject to slow tectonic uplift. However, as the uplift occurs, the stream erodes through the rising ridge to form a steep-walled gorge. The stream thus keeps its dendritic pattern even though it flows over a landscape that will normally produce a trellis drainage pattern.
