Which combined study method is most useful for identifying physiographic divisions? A Study the name, location, formation and key identifying features together B Memorise only the names of the divisions C Memorise only elevation figures D Study only the names of major rivers
Correct answer: A India’s physiographic divisions cannot be identified reliably from a single fact. For example, the Himalayas and the Peninsular Plateau are distinguished by combining their location, mode of formation, landforms and other characteristics. Therefore, option A is the most useful integrated method. Memorising elevation alone is insufficient because elevation varies within divisions and other clues are also needed for identification. Exam tip: make a short note for each division with its name, location, formation and two distinctive features.
