Q. Consider the following statements:
1.The Niger river drains into the Gulf of Tonkin.
2.The Irrawaddy River drains into the Andaman Sea.
3.The Parana River drains into the Rio de la Plata in the Pacific Ocean.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Explanation: Only Statement 2 is correct
Statement 1 is incorrect: The Niger River does not drain into the Gulf of Tonkin. It actually flows into the Gulf of Guinea. The Gulf of Tonkin is located in the South China Sea, while the Gulf of Guinea is part of the Atlantic Ocean.
Statement 2 is correct: The Irrawaddy River drains into the Andaman Sea. It flows southward through Myanmar, forming a major river basin and eventually emptying into the sea through a large delta.
Statement 3 is incorrect: The Parana River drains into the Rio de la Plata, a large estuary in South America. The Rio de la Plata then empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The Paraná River is the second longest river in South America, after the Amazon, and it joins with the Paraguay and Uruguay Rivers before forming the Rio de la Plata.
