Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 45, No. 1, Pg. 9:
Today four rivers flow west into the Indus River and the Arabian Sea (right). The rivers once joined the Ganges River and emptied into the Bay of Bengal (left). They were rerouted about 5 million years ago by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian Plates.
