Arrange the following major uranium deposit and mining locations in India in correct sequence from South to North based on their geographical location:
- 1Tummalapalle (Andhra Pradesh)
- 2Lambapur-Peddagattu (Telangana)
- 3Jaduguda (Jharkhand)
- 4Rohil (Rajasthan)
Answer
The correct geographical sequence from South to North is Tummalapalle (Andhra Pradesh) → Lambapur-Peddagattu (Telangana) → Jaduguda (Jharkhand) → Rohil (Rajasthan).
The correct sequence from South to North follows the latitudinal alignment of India's primary uranium deposits. Tummalapalle in YSR Kadapa district (Andhra Pradesh) is located furthest south at approximately 14.3° N. Moving northward, Lambapur-Peddagattu in Nalgonda district (Telangana) is at approximately 16.6° N. Continuing further north, India's premier uranium mining area at Jaduguda in East Singhbhum district (Jharkhand) lies at approximately 22.6° N. Finally, the major newly explored deposit at Rohil in Sikar district (Rajasthan) is located furthest north at approximately 27.5° N.
