the bedload also gets transported by suspension and little in siltation. As the river flows through the upper course of its channel the shape and size of the channel changes which result in distinctive landforms; these help to develop the landscape of the river during its course. These landforms are frequently caused by erosion and deposition. Vertical erosion in this highland part of the river helps to create steep sided V-shaped valleys‚ interlocking spurs‚ rapids‚ waterfalls and gorges. Waterfalls

Asia is the eastern part of the Palearctic ecozone (which in turn is part of the Holarctic)‚ and its South-Eastern part belongs to the Indomalaya ecozone (previously called the Oriental region). Asia shows a notable diversity of habitats‚ with significant variations in rainfall‚ altitude
