Analyzing River and Tributary Pairs in India
Understanding the major rivers and their tributaries is an important part of geography, especially concerning the Indian river systems. A tributary is a stream or river that flows into a larger river or lake.
We are asked to identify the pair of a river and its tributary that is NOT correctly matched from the given options. Let's examine each pair:
Examining the Pairs
- Godavari : Wainganga
The Wainganga River is a significant river in India, flowing through the states of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. It is considered a major tributary of the Godavari River. The combined river, after meeting the Wardha River, is known as the Pranahita, which then flows into the Godavari. Therefore, the pair Godavari and Wainganga is a correctly matched river and its tributary.
- Cauvery : Bhavani
The Bhavani River is a significant tributary of the Cauvery (Kaveri) River. It originates in the Silent Valley National Park region of the Western Ghats in Kerala and flows through Tamil Nadu before joining the Cauvery. This pair is correctly matched.
- Narmada : Amaravati
The Narmada River is one of the major rivers of Central India, flowing westwards. Its tributaries include rivers like Tawa, Kolar, Sher, Shakkar, etc. The Amaravati River, on the other hand, is a major tributary of the Kaveri (Cauvery) River in the South India. It flows through Tamil Nadu. Since the Amaravati River is a tributary of the Cauvery and not the Narmada, this pair is NOT correctly matched.
- Krishna : Bhima
The Bhima River is a major river in Southwestern India. It flows southeast for a long distance before joining the Krishna River. It is the principal tributary of the Krishna River. This pair is correctly matched.
Conclusion
Based on the analysis of each pair, the pair that is NOT correctly matched is Narmada : Amaravati.
