Question
Answer the following questions in brief
What is a basin ? Give an example.
Solution
A basin is a depressed section of the earth’s crust surrounded by higher land. Many basins are found alongside plateau edges and form areas of inland drainage, i.e., the rivers flowing in the basin do not reach the sea. The Tarim and Tsaidam Basins of Asia and the Chad Basin of north-central Africa are examples of the basin.
