The eastward flowing peninsular rivers

Detailed explanation-1: -The eastward flowing Peninsular rivers are likely to show the least erosional activity. These rivers are involved less in the erosional and depositional activities.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most of the peninsular rivers flow in the east direction because the Peninsula of India is slopped towards the East region. Hence, as the river flow direction generally depends on the land’s gradient, most of them are east flowing.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: The peninsular rivers pass from broad and shallow valleys. Himalayan rivers are engaged in high erosional activities. The peninsular rivers have very little erosional activity.
Detailed explanation-4: -The rivers like Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri, drain into the Bay of Bengal. These rivers are called east-flowing rivers. Apart from these, other small east flowing rivers are Brahmani, Baitarani, Damodar and Subarnarekha.
