Answer the following question in brief.
What method would you use to measure the length of a river?
उत्तर
We use a twine method to measure the length of a river. In the twine method, a twine is placed along the feature to be measured from one end to the other, carefully following all the curves and bends. The length of the twine is then measured in centimeters or inches using a ruler or linear scale. Thereafter, this length is converted into kilometers or miles using the scale of the given map.
