Which statements correctly describe rivers in arid regions?

1. Most rivers are perennial
2. Rivers often dry up seasonally
3. Rivers originate from glaciers
4. Rivers flow in deep valleys

Correct answer: Rivers often dry up seasonally

Solution

Rivers in arid regions generally receive irregular rainfall and have limited groundwater support, so they do not flow year-round. As a result, many of them dry up during the dry season.
