Which one of the following pairs (River – Direction) is not correctly matched ?

Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: D

Explanation

The Mekong River is one of the major rivers of Southeast Asia. It originates in the Tibetan Plateau and flows through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Its general course is towards the South-East, eventually emptying into the South China Sea through the Mekong Delta. Thus, the pair Mekong river – South-West is incorrectly matched.

  • Amur River: Flows along the border between the Russian Far East and Northeastern China, generally moving in a North-East direction towards the Strait of Tartary.
  • Syr Darya: Originates in the Tian Shan Mountains and flows North-West through Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan into the Aral Sea.
  • Angara River: It is the only river flowing out of Lake Baikal, moving generally North and then West to join the Yenisei River.
