Which of the following best describes the relationship between major geographical features in India? A The Tigris and the Euphrates feed into the major river systems of western India which feed into the
Bay of Bengal to the east which make the coastal plains bad for farming. The Himalayan mountains
are south of the Deccan Plateau which is known for monsoons.
B. The Ganges river in the East is fed by the Nile from the northern regions of Hindu Kush and stop in
the Himalayan mountain range to the west. The Deccan Plateau borders the Arabian Sea to the
north where farmland is very fertile.
C. The Indus River is India's only major river and it flows east-to-west from the Bay of Bengal into the
Arabian Sea. Rainfall from the Himalayan mountains ensures that the plains in the far north of India
are good for farming.
D. The Ganges and Indus Rivers are in northern India. The Ganges runs southeast into the Indian
Ocean. The Indus flows south into the Arabian Sea. Their water comes from the melting snow in the
Himalayan mountains that block India from the rest of Asia.
