👁 1 viewsCoral atolls are ring-shaped islands formed by coral reefs growing around a volcanic island, which then subsides, leaving a circular reef with a central lagoon. Lakshadweep Islands are a group of coral atolls in the Arabian Sea, hence they are associated with coral atolls. Other options are not primarily formed as coral atolls: Nicobar is a group of islands with diverse geology, Sundarbans are deltaic islands formed by sediment deposition, and Wheeler and Shorts Island is not a standard name for a coral-atoll group.
Lakshadweep means “one hundred thousand islands” in Malayalam.
Coral atolls form from reef-building corals around sinking or aging islands; Lakshadweep is a classic example.
Q268. Tamilnadu and Kerala are connected through
👁 1 viewsPal Ghat (Palghat Gap) is a natural pass in the Western Ghats that links Tamil Nadu with Kerala. It is the major low-lying corridor through the Western Ghats near Palakkad, allowing easier movement between the two states compared to other steep passes. The other options (Bor Ghat, Thal Ghat, Amba Ghat) are different passes in other regions and do not form the primary link between Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Thus, Pal Ghat is the correct choice.
Palghat Gap is also known as Palakkad Gap and is a key gateway through the Western Ghats.
Pal Ghat = Palghat Gap = main pass linking Tamil Nadu and Kerala through the Western Ghats.
Q269. Which one of the following is a volcanic lake ?
👁 2 viewsLonar Lake is a lake located in a meteor-crater site in Maharashtra. It is commonly presented in some studies as a “volcanic-like” lake due to its alkaline, saline waters and crater setting, but scientifically it is an impact crater lake formed by a meteor impact, not a volcano. The other options (Ular, Sambar, Loktak) are not formed by volcanic activity. This question tests identifying a lake with a crater-like, ring-shaped geography. Remember that Lonar is famous for its unique mineral-rich waters and for being Asia’s only known impact crater lake.
Lonar Lake lies in the Deccan Traps region, one of the largest volcanic basalt provinces in the world.
Lonar Lake is a crater lake formed by a meteor impact (not a true volcanic lake).
