Consider the economic geography, mineral resource distribution, and agricultural zoning of Rajasthan. Which of the following statements regarding the state's natural resources and agro-climatic classification are correct?
- Rajasthan accounts for almost the entire domestic production of wollastonite, selenite, and lead-zinc ores in India.Cevap
- The Barmer-Sanchore Basin and Jaisalmer Basin constitute major hydrocarbon-bearing onshore sedimentary basins contributing heavily to domestic crude oil and natural gas production.Cevap
- CLignite coal reserves in Rajasthan are predominantly embedded within ancient Gondwana rock formations situated in the eastern Hadoti plateau region.
- Under the National Agricultural Research Project (NARP) framework, the state of Rajasthan is divided into ten distinct agro-climatic zones.Cevap
Cevap
The correct statements are those identifying Rajasthan's near-monopoly in lead-zinc, selenite, and wollastonite production; the critical onshore petroleum role of the Barmer-Sanchore and Jaisalmer basins; and the state's division into ten NARP agro-climatic zones. The statement claiming lignite coal belongs to Gondwana formations in the Hadoti region is incorrect because Rajasthan's lignite deposits are of Tertiary (Eocene) age and concentrated in western districts like Barmer, Bikaner, and Nagaur.
The statements highlighting Rajasthan's dominance in lead-zinc, wollastonite, and selenite production, the petroleum production from the Barmer-Sanchore and Jaisalmer basins, and the ten NARP agro-climatic zones are all empirically accurate according to state economic surveys and geological data.
