AnswerThe Bay of Bengal.

The Bay of Bengal stretches from the east coast of India to the Andaman Islands. Further east, it becomes the Andaman Sea until the tip of Sumatra, where the Straits of Malacca begins. So there is no one single body of water between the two coasts.

What two rivers flow into the Indian Ocean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The two rivers are the Murray and the Darling Rivers which, together with their many tributaries, drain the southeastern quadrant of the continent. The Darling River flows into the Murray, which in turn has its mouth at Encounter Bay in South Australia.

It is disputed, however, whether the Murray empties into the Southern Ocean or the Indian Ocean. Geographers cannot agree on the northern boundary of the Southern Ocean but, as far as Australia is concerned, the river system drains into the Southern Ocean, not the Indian Ocean.
