State some features of peninsular rivers.

Some of the features of peninsular rivers are:

1. They have a fixed course of flow.


2. These rivers don’t form meanders.


3. The river does not flow for the most part of the year. These are thus called as non-perennial in nature.


4. Slight tilting of the peninsular block from northwest to the south-eastern direction gave orientation to the entire drainage system which led it to flow toward the Bay of Bengal.
