Question
Why are there many meanders on Ganga River System between Ambala and Sunderban delta?
✓

Answer

Ambala city works as a water-divide between Ganga and Sindhu rivers.
Ambala to Sunderban is about 1800 km, but it has a very gentle slope.
Ambala is at an altitude of 300 meters from sea level whereas Sunderban is at sea-level.
Considering this, the slope happens to be 6 km per one metre (1800/300 = 6).
Due to this gentle and continuous slope there are many meanders on this river.
