Question
Write geographical reason

As compared to Amazon, pollution in river Ganga will affect human life greatly.

✓

Answer

  1. Amazon basin lies to the north of Brazil. Amazon River receives a huge discharge of about 2 lakhs cubic m/s. On the other hand, in North Indian Plains, due to the gentle slope, the speed (velocity) of River Ganga is less.
  2. The region near the Amazon Basin is covered by thick dense equatorial rainforests, hence, it is unfit for human settlement. However, the Ganga river basin is a very fertile region and agriculture is carried out here on a large scale. Moreover, due to the availability of water, this region is densely populated.
  3. Due to the throwing of industrial waste in rivers, the river water has become polluted which has an adverse effect on human life.
    Therefore, as compared to Amazon, pollution in the river Ganga will affect human life greatly.
