Q211. The Andaman and Nicobar Island are submerged parts of mountain range called:
👁 1 viewsThe correct answer is D, Arakan Yoma. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands lie to the southeast of the Indian mainland and are geologically the submerged portions of the Arakan Yoma mountain range, which runs along the eastern edge of the Bay of Bengal. This range extends from present-day Myanmar and affects the region’s geology and tectonics. Other options do not correspond to the chain that forms these islands: Tien Shann is in Central Asia, Pegu Yoma is in Myanmar but not the source of these islands, and Ashaichin is not a recognized major range linked to these islands. Understanding the Arakan Yoma helps explain the archipelago’s origin and marine geology.
Arakan Yoma translates to “Arakan Mountains,” forming a major geological boundary between the Indian Plate and the Burma (Myanmar) region.
Andaman–Nicobar Islands are the submerged part of the Arakan Yoma mountain range.
Q212. Which of the following mountain passes forms the 'Tri-junction' of India, China and Myanmar ?
👁 2 viewsDiphu Pass is a mountain pass on the Indo-Myanmar border in the Manipur region. It is considered a tri-junction point where the borders of India, Myanmar, and China are nearby, making it a reference point for the three countries. The other passes listed have different international contexts: Nathu La is an India–China (Sikkim) pass, Jelep La connects historic routes between India and Tibet, and Bomdi La is associated with Arunachal Pradesh near the India–Myanmar area but does not serve as the three-nation junction. Therefore, Diphu Pass is identified as the tri-junction point among the options provided.
Diphu Pass lies on the border between Manipur (India) and Myanmar.
Diphu Pass is the tri-junction point among India, China and Myanmar in common references.

👁 1 viewsShale gas is natural gas trapped in fine-grained rock (shale) and is considered an unconventional hydrocarbon. In 2011, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) announced India's first shale gas reserve discovery in West Bengal. This marked a shift from conventional gas discoveries to exploring gas stored in shale formations, expanding India's potential energy sources. The other options (Assam, Gujarat, Maharashtra) did not host the first shale gas reserve discovery by ONGC in 2011 according to this fact pattern.
Shale gas extraction often uses hydraulic fracturing (fracking) to release gas from dense shale rock.
India's first shale gas reserve was discovered in West Bengal in 2011 by ONGC.
