Solution
The correct option is A Chos
- Punjab spans three physiographic regions, the smallest being the Siwalik Range in the northeast, where elevations reach about 3,000 feet (900 metres).
- Farther south, the narrow, undulating foothill region is dissected by closely spaced seasonal torrents, locally known as chos, several of which terminate in the plain below without joining any stream.
- There are large numbers of seasonal hill torrents which leave the Siwalik Range and enter the level plain.
- These torrents are swollen with water soon after heavy showers in the neighbouring hills and carry with them a heavy load of coarse sand and silt.
- They are furious when rushing to the plains.
- They are called ‘chos’ in the plain where their beds are broad, braided, shallow and sandy.
- They are quite numerous and in some places every kilometre has a ‘chos’.
