Question

Which amongst the following is not a factor affecting the work of a river?

Options

• Velocity of water

• Quality of water

• Volume of water

• Load of water

Answer 1

Quality of water

Explanation:

The work of a river is primarily influenced by factors like its velocity, volume, and load (sediments it carries). These determine the river’s ability to erode and shape the landscape. Quality of water, however, does not affect the river’s physical processes like erosion or sediment transport, making it irrelevant in this context.
