#1. Which of the following pairs is not correctly matched?
Explanation:
- Kosi River: The Kosi River is an antecedent river, not a consequent one. An antecedent river maintains its original course and pattern despite the changes in underlying rock topography. The Kosi River originates from the Tibetan Himalayas and cuts through the Himalayan ranges before forming a megafan on the alluvial plain. Its course was established before the uplift of the Himalayas, allowing it to retain its path despite geological changes.
- Narmada River: The Narmada River flows through a rift valley between the Vindhya and Satpura ranges, making it a rift valley river. This geological feature is characterized by steep, linear valleys formed due to the subsidence of land between two parallel faults.
- Sutlej River: The Sutlej River is an antecedent river. It existed before the Himalayan uplift and has maintained its course by cutting through the mountains as they rose.
- Ghaggar River: The Ghaggar River is considered endorheic, meaning it does not drain into the sea but ends in inland basins or deserts. In this case, the Ghaggar River terminates in the semi-arid areas of Rajasthan, where its waters are lost due to evaporation and seepage.
Therefore, the pair “Kosi – Consequent river” is not correctly matched, as the Kosi is an antecedent river.
