Select the correct answer from the following codes
a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. Both 1 and 2
d. Neither 1 nor 2
Answer: b
Explanation: The Peninsula is formed essentially by a great complex of very ancient gneisses and
granites, which constitutes a major part of it. Since the Cambrian period, the Peninsula has
been standing like a rigid block with the exception of some of its western coast which is submerged beneath the sea and some other parts changed due to tectonic activity without affecting the original basement.
Q3. Which of the following is/are examples of block faulting in peninsular block?

d. 1,2 and 3
Answer: d
Explanation: As a part of the Indo-Australian Plate, peninsular block has been subjected to various vertical movements and block faulting. The rift valleys of the Narmada, the Tapi and the Mahanadi and the Satpura block mountains are some examples of it.

Q5. Which of the following is/are features of Himalayas?

2. Interplay of exogenic and endogenic forces
3. Tectonic in origin
Select the correct answer from the following codes
a. Only 1
b. Only 1 and 2
c. Only 2 and 3
d. 1,2 and 3
Answer: d
Explanation: The Himalayas along with other Peninsular mountains are young, weak and flexible in their geological structure unlike the rigid and stable Peninsular Block. Consequently, they are still subjected to the interplay of exogenic and endogenic forces, resulting in the development of faults, folds and thrust plains. These mountains are tectonic in origin, dissected by fast-flowing rivers which are in their youthful stage.

Answer: b
Explanation: Various landforms like gorges, V-shaped valleys, rapids, waterfalls, etc. are indicative of youth stage of Himalayan rivers.
Q7. Consider the following statements
1. Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra plain was a geo-synclinal depression reached maximum development during Himalayan mountain formation.
2. Relief and physiography of India is Greatly influenced by geological and geomorphological process active in peninsular block.
Select the correct answer from the following codes
a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. Both 1 and 2
d. Neither 1 nor 2
Answer: a
Explanation: The third geological division of India comprises the plains formed by the river
Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra. Originally, it was a geo-synclinal depression which attained its maximum development during the third phase of the Himalayan mountain formation approximately about 64 million years ago. The relief and physiography of India has been greatly influenced by the geological and geomorphological processes active in the Indian subcontinent.
