Which of the following characteristic feature is appropriate for Narmada river ?

  • A.Glacial origin
  • B.Volcanic origin
  • C.Wind origin
  • D.Structural origin

Answer: D

The Narmada's characteristic feature is its Structural origin.

The Narmada flows west between the Vindhya and Satpura ranges through a rift valley, a block of land that sank between two faults. Its course was set by this geological structure rather than carved by the river in an ordinary way, which is why it flows west, in a straight line, into the Arabian Sea through an estuary.

It rises at Amarkantak, not in a glacier, and the valley is not of volcanic or wind origin, though it crosses the Deccan lava region.
