Geography (incl. West Bengal)Rivers, Lakes, Dams & Water Resources
Which of the following rivers lies in a rift valley?
- a.Luni
- b.Chambal
- c.Son
- d.Tapi
Answer: (D) Tapi
The Tapi, like the Narmada, flows west through a rift valley (a fault trough between the Satpura and Ajanta ranges) and enters the Arabian Sea through an estuary. The Luni is an inland drainage river of the Thar, and the Chambal and Son are Ganga-system rivers draining the plateau without a rift.
