Difficulty: HardState Geography and Physical Features

Match the specific local physical relief features of the state geography in List-I with their corresponding physiographic locations or district regions in List-II.

  • Bhakar (Steep jagged ridges)Sirohi District (Western slopes of Aravalli Range)
  • Chappan Hills (Dome-shaped granitic hills)Barmer-Jalore Region (Around Siwana)
  • Desuri Pass (Desuri Nal)Pali-Rajsamand Border (Central Aravalli Range)
  • Dang Landform (Badland ravine terrain)Karauli and Dholpur Region (Chambal Basin)

Answer

Bhakar matches with Sirohi District; Chappan Hills matches with Barmer-Jalore Region; Desuri Pass matches with Pali-Rajsamand Border; Dang Landform matches with Karauli and Dholpur Region.
Each local relief feature is correctly mapped to its precise administrative and physiographic region based on physical geography: Bhakar belongs to Sirohi, Chappan Hills to the Siwana granitic complex of Barmer-Jalore, Desuri Pass to the Pali-Rajsamand border pass, and Dang Landform to the Chambal badland belt in Karauli-Dholpur.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the geographical definition and location of Bhakar.
Bhakar represents steep, narrow, knife-edge ridges found specifically on the western slopes of Aravallis in Sirohi district.
This establishes the first landform-to-district pair.
2
Identify the geological formation and region of Chappan Hills.
Chappan Hills are residual granitic domes located around Siwana in the Barmer-Jalore belt.
This distinguishes Chappan Hills from the Chappan Plain (Mahi basin).
3
Locate the mountain gap known as Desuri Pass.
Desuri Pass traverses the Central Aravalli ridge between Pali and Rajsamand.
Passes are key physical features facilitating inter-regional travel across relief barriers.
4
Determine the physiographic belt corresponding to Dang ravine landform.
Dang topography is formed by Chambal river erosion in the eastern district belt of Karauli and Dholpur.
Ravines are characteristic fluvial erosional features of the Chambal basin.

Key Concept

Micro-physiographic landforms, mountain relief features, and regional landform nomenclature of State Geography.
