Answer: 1.The headquarters of the Ganga called the ‘Bhagirathi’ is fed by the Gangotri and joined by Alkananda at Devaprayag in Uttarakhand.
2.At Haridwar, the Ganga emerges from the mountains on to the plains.
3.Its tributaries flood parts of the northern plains every year, causing widespread damage to life and property but enriching the soil for the extensive agricultural lands.
4.Enlarged with the waters from its right and left bank tributaries, the Ganga flows eastward till Farakka in West Bengal. This is the northern most point of Ganga Delta.
5.The mainstream flows southwards into Bangladesh and is joined by the Brahmaputra. This mighty river along with Brahmaputra flows into the Bay of Bengal and the delta formed by these rivers is known as Sunderban delta.

Answer:
Correlation
Explanation:
Correlation simply means matching rocks or strata's of the same age. This rock units or sedimentary strata's may be matched from same region or even different continents.
In correlation the major task is to establish time equivalency of various rocks or sedimentary strata's.
In correlation of rock unit or sedimentary strata, Geologist looks at the physical continuity. For example a sedimentary strata from a region having a particular sequence of rock or sedimentary strata . That same pattern of sequence may be found in another region . With the similarity in the sequence stratigraphy ( sediment layering), Geologist can infer the similarity in age of both strata's.
Fossil contents present in different strata; if similar fossil contents found in different regions, geologist can determine the age similarities.
The first picture indicates strata correlation using fossil similarities while the second picture uses the physical continuity like lithology to correlates strata's
