👁 0 viewsQ19. Which of the following area has a potential for harnessing of tidal energy in India?
👁 1 viewsThe Gulf of Cambay (Khambhat) has strong tidal currents and a funnel-shaped bay that enhances tidal flow, making it favorable for tidal energy projects. This geometry increases water movement, allowing tidal turbines to extract more energy. Gulf of Mannar and Chilka lake are coastal/lagoon systems with biodiversity and fisheries; they do not have the same strong, predictable tidal energy potential as Cambay. Gulf of Mannar lies off Tamil Nadu with salinity and biodiversity significance, not primarily known for tidal power. Chilka is a brackish lake in Odisha with seasonal tidal influence but not high potential for tidal energy. Thus, Cambay is the correct choice for tidal energy potential among the options.
The Gulf of Khambhat is a deep inlet along the coast of Gujarat, known for its strong tidal currents.
Khambhat (Cambay) has strong tidal currents, making it the best option for tidal energy among the given choices.
Q20. The state having a largest area of forest cover in India is:
👁 1 viewsThe correct option is B: Madhya Pradesh. Among Indian states, Madhya Pradesh has the largest area under forest cover in terms of absolute forest area. This means, when comparing the land area that is forested, MP tops the list, even though other states may have dense forests in smaller regions. The other options—Arunachal Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Maharashtra—also have substantial forest areas, but not as much as Madhya Pradesh in total forest extent.
Madhya Pradesh has the largest area under forest cover among Indian states.
MP has the largest forest area among Indian states.
