Why is the Narmada Valley considered an important physical line between the Deccan Plateau and Central Highlands?

AIt is the main axis of the HimalayasBIt forms a coastlineCIt separates northern and southern plateau partsDIt only forms a delta

Question 3HardLevel 25

Which sequence best explains the formation of black soil in the Deccan Trap?

ALava flows formed basalt and its weathering formed black soilBGlaciers melted and formed black soilCMarine corals broke and formed black soilDRiver silt directly became basalt

Question 4HardLevel 25

Why is the westward flow of Narmada and Tapi considered different from normal Peninsular drainage?

ABecause most Peninsular rivers flow eastwardBBecause they originate from the HimalayasCBecause they never reach the seaDBecause they flow backward only in monsoon

Question 5HardLevel 25

What is the relation between the discontinuous structure of Eastern Ghats and east flowing rivers?

ARivers cut through the Eastern Ghats and reach the seaBEastern Ghats completely stop riversCEastern Ghats are formed by glaciersDRivers return west from Eastern Ghats

Question 6HardLevel 25

Why does the windward slope of the Western Ghats receive heavy rainfall?

ADry winds descend thereBMoist monsoon winds rise after striking the mountainsCGlaciers melt and cause rainDMarine corals release water

Question 7HardLevel 25

How does the higher western edge of the Deccan Plateau affect drainage?

ARivers mainly take a long eastward courseBAll rivers become short westward riversCRivers join the HimalayasDDrainage completely disappears

Question 8HardLevel 25

Which combined reason best explains the presence of waterfalls in the Peninsular Plateau?

ANew silt and marshy landBHard rocks and sudden height differenceCSea tides and coralsDGlaciers and icy valleys

Question 9HardLevel 25

What is the basic physical reason for mineral abundance in the Chotanagpur Plateau?

AOld rocky structureBNew flood soilCMarine sandDGlacial ice

Question 10HardLevel 25

What does the north and north eastward slope of the Central Highlands influence?

ADirection of river drainageBSalinity of the seaCHeight of the HimalayasDNumber of islands

Question 11HardLevel 25

Which idea is important in linking Meghalaya and Karbi Anglong plateaus with the Peninsular Plateau?

AThey are separated plateau extensions in the north eastBThey are new flood plains of the GangaCThey are snow covered peaks of the HimalayasDThey are coral islands of the Arabian Sea

Question 12HardLevel 25

The highly eroded form of the Aravalli Range is the result of which long term process?

ALong term erosionBNew alluvial depositionCMarine coral growthDPermanent ice accumulation

Question 13HardLevel 25

What is the role of east flowing rivers in forming large deltas on the eastern coast?

AThey deposit silt near the Bay of BengalBThey only form estuaries in the Arabian SeaCThey return to the HimalayasDThey never reach the sea

Question 14HardLevel 25

Why are estuaries found at the mouths of Narmada and Tapi instead of deltas?

AThey flow westward through steeper routes and deposit less sedimentBThey meet the Bay of BengalCThey bring huge silt from the HimalayasDThey cut the Eastern Ghats

Question 15HardLevel 25

Step like landforms in the Deccan Trap are related to which geological process?

ALayered lava flowsBNew river siltCGlacial moraineDCoral reef formation

Question 16HardLevel 25

Calling Godavari the Ganga of the South highlights which fact?

AIt is a major and extensive river system of South IndiaBIt is a direct tributary of GangaCIt flows westwardDIt originates from the Himalayas

Question 18HardLevel 25

What is the correct geographical identification of Anai Mudi and Doda Betta?

ABoth are parts of Ganga PlainBAnai Mudi is in Western Ghats and Doda Betta is in NilgiriCBoth are Himalayan passesDBoth are deltas on the eastern coast

Question 19HardLevel 25

What explains the seasonal nature of Peninsular rivers?

ADependence mainly on monsoon rainfallBEqual glacier water supply throughout the yearCContinuous water supply from the seaDWater supply from underground lava

Question 20HardLevel 25

What causes rounded hills and broad shallow valleys in the Peninsular Plateau?

ALong term erosion on old rocky surfaceBNew alluvial depositionCDeposition by sea tidesDDirect formation by glaciers
