edited June 2014 in Miscellaneous
Hi,

I was looking at an MCQ which asked : Why Chambal has a badland topography.

The answer was : low rainfall in catchment area.Can somebody explain this.

    So that we can train dacoits(daaku), its known as an accomplished center for training dacoits.

    Rainfall mainly during spring season, for the most part of the year chambal remains partly dry, only a thin stream of water is seen. and during rainy season the chambals overflows and creates these topographies. This overflowing is sudden and is limited to the time period of rainfall. thats y they produce discontinuous topographical feature.Catchment area doesn't receives as much water as the main stream area.

    mostly that should be the reason.

  • Thanks sanki.Well I knew about the 'daaku' part :)
  • Chambal ravines are formed because "process of scouring" > "process of silting" of the rivers and its tributaries.
