Incorrect AnswerAll of the above
Correct AnswerExplanation:
A ravine is generally a fluvial slope landform of relatively steep (cross-sectional) sides, on the order of twenty to seventy percent in gradient.
Ravines may or may not have active streams flowing along the downslope channel which originally formed them; moreover, often they are characterized by intermittent streams, since their geographic scale may not be sufficiently large to support a perennial watercourse. A ravine is a deep valley which is formed due to linear/dendritic fluvial erosion of loose unconsolidated and bare soils byes.
In all the given areas - along the banks of Narmada and foothills of Shivalik, Chambal and Chota Nagpur region – Ravines are found.
