Zorluk: OrtaState Economy, Agriculture, and Natural Resources

The state of Odisha is richly endowed with diverse mineral resources such as iron ore, chromite, and bauxite, which form the backbone of its mining-based economy. Based on their geographical positioning across the state's mineral belts, arrange the following mineral-rich districts of Odisha in order from North to South.

  1. 1Mayurbhanj District (Gorumahisani iron ore belt)
  2. 2Keonjhar District (Joda and Gandhamardan iron/manganese belt)
  3. 3Jajpur District (Sukinda valley chromite belt)
  4. 4Koraput District (Panchpatmali bauxite belt)

Cevap

The correct sequence from North to South is: Mayurbhanj District, followed by Keonjhar District, then Jajpur District, and finally Koraput District.
The geographical progression from North to South starts with Mayurbhanj District (northern border area), followed by Keonjhar District immediately to its south, then Jajpur District in central Odisha, and concludes with Koraput District in southern Odisha.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify northernmost district
Mayurbhanj District occupies the northernmost region of Odisha, hosting historic iron ore mines at Gorumahisani and Badampahar.
Geographical positioning places Mayurbhanj at the northern apex of the state.
2
Locate North-Central mineral district
Keonjhar District lies immediately south/southwest of Mayurbhanj, containing major iron ore and manganese reserves around Barbil and Joda.
Keonjhar forms the central-northern belt of the iron ore grid.
3
Locate Central mineral district
Jajpur District is situated in the central belt, famous for the Sukinda valley containing over 90% of India's chromite deposits.
Jajpur is positioned geographically below Keonjhar moving southward.
4
Identify southern mineral district
Koraput District lies in the far southern high-altitude Eastern Ghats region, housing Asia's largest bauxite deposit at Panchpatmali.
Koraput forms the southern anchor among these four mineral zones.
