Black soil, also known as Regur soil, is extensively distributed across the Deccan Trap region of India. Which of the following commercial crops is most naturally suited for cultivation in this soil type due to its high moisture-retention capacity?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Cotton

Cevap

Cotton is the crop most naturally suited for cultivation in black soil.
Cotton is exceptionally well-suited to black soil (Regur soil) because its high clay content retains subsoil moisture for long durations, sustaining cotton plants through rain-fed dry spells in the Deccan region.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the pedological characteristics described in the stem.
Black soil (Regur soil) has a fine clayey composition, high fertility, self-ploughing capacity, and superior water-retention ability.
Matching soil properties with crop growth requirements determines agrarian suitability.
2
Evaluate crop requirements against black soil properties.
Cotton requires moisture-retentive clay soils during its growing phase and warm climatic conditions, making black soil ideal.
Due to this strong ecological association, black soil is frequently termed 'black cotton soil'.

Arrange the following atmospheric and meteorological developments associated with the upper atmospheric dynamic mechanism of the South-West Monsoon onset over India in their correct chronological sequence from earliest to latest:

Öğeleri doğru sıraya koymak için sürükleyin

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The correct chronological sequence of events leading to the South-West Monsoon onset is: 1. Intense solar heating of the Indian subcontinent and Tibetan Plateau → 2. Abrupt northward displacement of the Subtropical Westerly Jet stream north of the Himalayas → 3. Establishment of the Tropical Easterly Jet stream over Peninsular India → 4. Sudden northward movement of the ITCZ triggering the 'burst' of monsoon over Kerala.
The onset mechanism of the South-West monsoon involves a linked chain of thermal and dynamic events. First, intense seasonal solar heating warms the Indian subcontinent and Tibetan Plateau. This thermal engine forces the Subtropical Westerly Jet stream (STWJ) to abruptly jump north of the Himalayas. The resulting upper-air warm anticyclone over Tibet establishes the Tropical Easterly Jet (TEJ) over peninsular India. The strong upper-level divergence associated with the TEJ dynamically pulls the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) northward, drawing the moist south-west monsoon currents onto the Kerala coast to mark the official monsoon burst.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the foundational thermal trigger.
Solar radiation intense heating of the landmass and Tibetan Plateau establishes strong surface low pressure and thermal warming aloft in early summer.
Without surface differential heating and high plateau warming, the upper atmospheric pressure gradient cannot reverse.
2
Trace the upper-tropospheric jet stream relocation.
The Subtropical Westerly Jet (STWJ), which anchored south of the Himalayas through winter, breaks away and shifts abruptly north of Tibet in late May.
The physical barrier of the Himalayas retains the STWJ until warming over Tibet weakens the southern jet trough.
3
Identify the creation of upper-level easterly circulation.
With the STWJ removed, the high-altitude Tibetan warm anticyclone drives upper outflow southward, establishing the Tropical Easterly Jet (TEJ) across peninsular India.
The TEJ relies directly on upper-tropospheric outflow from the heated Tibetan plateau.
4
Determine the surface weather response and monsoon arrival.
Strong divergence aloft created by the TEJ draws the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) rapidly northward to ~20°N latitude, pulling moist maritime south-westerly trade winds into Kerala as the monsoon burst.
Upper atmospheric suction combined with surface thermal depression completes the dynamic coupling required for monsoon onset.

Consider the following statements regarding the physiographic and relief features of Peninsular India:

1. The Meghalaya and Karbi Anglong plateaus are structural extensions of the Peninsular Block separated from the Chota Nagpur Plateau by the Malda Fault.
2. The Western Ghats form a comparatively continuous relief wall created along a rifted continental margin, whereas the Eastern Ghats consist of highly dissected residual hills breached by major rivers.
3. Dodabetta, situated in the Anaimalai Hills, is the highest peak of the Peninsular Plateau.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1 and 2 only

Cevap

The correct option is the one stating that statements 1 and 2 only are correct.
The Meghalaya and Karbi Anglong plateaus are indeed northeastern outliers of the Peninsular Block detached by the Malda (Garo-Rajmahal) fault gap. Furthermore, the Western Ghats represent a continuous relief wall along a rifted margin, whereas the Eastern Ghats are non-continuous and eroded by major east-flowing rivers. The statement regarding Dodabetta is false because Anamudi (2,695 m2,695\text{ m}) in the Anaimalai Hills is the highest peak of the Peninsular Plateau, while Dodabetta (2,637 m2,637\text{ m}) lies in the Nilgiri Hills.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate Statement 1 regarding northeastern plateau extensions
The Meghalaya Plateau and Karbi Anglong Plateau are structurally part of the main Peninsular Plateau. A major fault (Malda Gap/Garo-Rajmahal Gap) created during the Indian plate movement separated them from the Chota Nagpur Plateau. Thus, statement 1 is correct.
Geological origin and faulting separate the northeastern plateau from the central Peninsular block.
2
Evaluate Statement 2 regarding relief characteristics of Western and Eastern Ghats
The Western Ghats are continuous tectonic relief features along the submerged fault margin of the Arabian Sea. The Eastern Ghats are older, discontinuous, highly denuded residual mountain ranges cut through by rivers like the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri. Thus, statement 2 is correct.
Comparative geomorphology of the coastal mountain rims of India.
3
Evaluate Statement 3 regarding peak elevations and locations
Anamudi (2,695 m2,695\text{ m}) is the highest peak of the Peninsular Plateau and is situated in the Anaimalai Hills. Dodabetta (2,637 m2,637\text{ m}) is the second highest peak and is located in the Nilgiri Hills. Thus, statement 3 is incorrect.
