Detailed Solution for Map Based Test - 1 - Question 2

Mekong flows southeast from Tibet and enters the Yunnan province of China. It then snakes its way around to the border of China, Myanmar and Laos. 

 Its estimated length is 4,909 km (3,050 mi),[3] and it drains an area of 795,000 km2 (307,000 sq mi), discharging 475 km3 (114 cu mi) of water annually.[4] From the Tibetan Plateau the river runs through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The extreme seasonal variations in flow and the presence of rapids and waterfalls in the Mekong make navigation difficult.
