With reference to Mekong river, which of the following statement/s is/are correct? 1. Mekong rises in Tibetan Plateau 2. Mekong delta is situated in Southern Cambodia. Select the correct answer using the codes given below. Correct Answer 1 only

The correct answer is 1 only.

Key Points

  • The Mekong is a transboundary river in Southeast Asia.
  • From the Tibetan Plateau, the river runs through China's Yunnan province, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
  • The Mekong river is the 12th longest on earth and covers over 2700 miles. 
  • The extreme seasonal variations in flow and the presence of rapids and waterfalls in the Mekong make navigation difficult.
  • Even so, the river is a major trade route between western China and Southeast Asia.
  • The Mekong Delta is in southern Vietnam. It has almost half of Vietnam's capacity of offshore fishing vessels. Hence, statement 2 is not correct.
  • The delta is a vast maze of rivers, swamps and islands, home to floating markets, Khmer pagodas and villages surrounded by rice paddies.
