MCQ practice · SSC Bangladesh and Global Studies Board questions · Chapter 5: The Rivers of Bangladesh and the Natural Resources
What is the reason for the disappearance of many rivers in Bangladesh?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a landslides on hills
- b building dams
- c earthquake
- d deposit of silt
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: d deposit of silt
The book says silt fills the river bed, shoals form and many rivers disappear.
Why the other options are wrong
- a landslides on hills: Landslides are not given in the book as a cause of rivers disappearing.
- b building dams: Dams reduce flow, but on rivers disappearing the book speaks of silt deposit and shoals.
- c earthquake: An earthquake created the Jamuna; it is not given as the cause of rivers disappearing.
