Consider the following statements about Ganga river:
It is formed after the upliftment of the Himalayas.
Ganga is a Consequent river.
The river exhibits a dendritic drainage pattern.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
Correct
Ans: C
Exp:
In 2018, geochronologist Elizabeth Chamberlain, an assistant professor at the Wageningen University & Research, Netherlands, and her team were in Bangladesh to study the movement of river channels in the Ganga delta. They found the Ganga had abruptly changed its course — or avulsed — about 2,500 years ago, leaving behind the palaeochannel.
About Ganga River system:
The Ganga starts from the Gangotri Glacier near Gaumukh at 3,900 meters in Uttarakhand’s Uttarkashi district and is initially called the Bhagirathi.
Statement 1 is incorrect: The Ganga River system existed before the upliftment of the Himalayas.
The Sindhu, Satluj, Ganga, and Brahmaputra rivers, among the scores of mountain rivers, had established their drainage networks well before the Himalaya came into existence as a mountain barrier.
Statement 2 is incorrect: Ganga is an example of antecedent rivers that existed before the upliftment of the Himalayas and carved gorges in the mountains.
It carves through the Central and Lesser Himalayas in narrow gorges.
At Devprayag, the Bhagirathi meets the Alaknanda, and from this point, it is referred to as the Ganga. The Ganga then enters the plains at Haridwar.
Statement 3 is correct: The Ganga River and its tributaries exhibit a dendritic drainage pattern, resembling the branching pattern of tree roots.

Ans: C
