Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Consider the following statements regarding Distribution of Minerals in India.
- Most of the metallic minerals in India occur in the peninsular plateau region in the old crystalline rocks.
- Over 95 per cent of coal reserves occur in the valleys of Damodar, Sone, Mahanadi and Godavari.
- Most of the major mineral resources occur to the west of a line linking Mangaluru and Kanpur.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: a)
Most of the metallic minerals in India occur in the peninsular plateau region in the old crystalline rocks. Over 97 per cent of coal reserves occur in the valleys of Damodar, Sone, Mahanadi and Godavari. Petroleum reserves are located in the sedimentary basins of Assam, Gujarat and Mumbai High i.e. off-shore region
in the Arabian Sea. New reserves have been located in the Krishna-Godavari and Kaveri basins. Most of the major mineral resources occur to the east of a line linking Mangaluru and Kanpur.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Consider the following statements
- The soil is developed in the region of high temperature
- They are poor in organic matter
- They are cut as bricks for construction
- They are commonly found in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh
The above statements are related to:
Correct
Solution: c)
Laterite Soil:
The laterite soils develop in areas with high temperature and high rainfall. Humus content of the soil is removed fast by bacteria that thrives well in high temperature. These soils are poor in organic matter, nitrogen, phosphate and calcium, while iron oxide and potash are in excess.
Laterite soils are widely cut as bricks for use in house construction. These soils have mainly developed in the higher areas of the Peninsular plateau. The laterite soils are commonly found in Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh and the hilly areas of Odisha and Assam.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements
- Deepest ocean depth is measured at Mariana Trench located east of Japan’s coast.
- Oceanic trenches are formed due to collision of oceanic and continental crust.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: b)
Mariana Trench is at east of Philippine coast.
Along a convergent boundary two lithospheric plates collide against each other. When one of the plates is an oceanic plate, it gets embedded in the softer asthenosphere of the continental plate, and as a result, trenches are formed at the zone of subduction.

- Far away from the sea.
- Snowfall in the nearby Himalayan ranges
- Cold winds coming from Taklamakan Desert and Plateau of Tibet.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: a)
There are three main reasons for the excessive cold in north India during this season:
(i) States like Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan being far away from the moderating influence of sea experience continental climate.
(ii) The snowfall in the nearby Himalayan ranges creates cold wave situation; and
(iii) Around February, the cold winds coming from the Caspian Sea and Turkmenistan bring cold wave along with frost and fog over the north-western parts of India.
