Which river in India forms the Marble Rocks gorge?
Last Updated:
This question examines an important river-or-lake fact: “Which river in India forms the Marble Rocks gorge?” The correct answer is Narmada. The Narmada River forms the famous Marble Rocks gorge at Bhedaghat near Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh. The river cuts through white marble rocks creating a stunning natural wonder. The Dhuandhar Falls (meaning 'smoke cascade') is also located here on the Narmada River. A river system includes its source, tributaries, distributaries, drainage basin, watershed, channel, floodplain, delta or estuary and final outlet. River behaviour depends on relief, geology, rainfall, snowmelt, sediment load, vegetation and human intervention. Examination questions often confuse a river’s source with its mouth, a left-bank tributary with a right-bank tributary, or a natural lake with a reservoir.
