Since which period has the Peninsula been standing like a rigid block? A. Silurian period B. Ordovician period C. Precambrian period D. Cambrian period Explanation: Since the Cambrian period, the Peninsula has been standing like a rigid block, with the exception of some of its western coast and other parts affected by tectonic activity. 2 / 202.

Mahanadi Explanation: The Mahanadi, Krishna, and Kaveri rivers form deltas before entering the Bay of Bengal. The Narmada flows into the Arabian Sea. 7 / 207. What type of landforms are commonly found in the Himalayas and other Peninsular mountains due to their geological structure? A. Plateaus and mesas B. Karst topography and sinkholes C. Faults, folds, and thrust plains D. Sand dunes and playas Explanation: The young, weak, and flexible geological structure of the Himalayas and other Peninsular mountains makes them prone to the development of faults, folds, and thrust plains. 8 / 208. Into how many geological divisions can India be divided based on variations in its geological structure and formations? A. Four B. Two C. Five D. Three Explanation: India can be divided into three geological divisions based on variations in its geological structure and formations. 9 / 209. What is the northern boundary of the Peninsular Block? A. A straight line running from Kachchh to the Ganga delta B. An irregular line running from Kachchh along the western flank of the Aravali Range near Delhi and then roughly parallel to the Yamuna and the Ganga as far as the Rajmahal Hills and the Ganga delta C. The Indo-Ganga-Brahmaputra Plain D. The Himalayas Explanation: The northern boundary of the Peninsular Block is an irregular line running from Kachchh along the western flank of the Aravali Range near Delhi and then roughly parallel to the Yamuna and the Ganga as far as the Rajmahal Hills and the Ganga delta. 10 / 2010. Which fault separates the northeastern parts of the Peninsular Block from the Chotanagpur plateau? A. Malda fault B. Karakoram Fault C. Main Boundary Fault D. Bhima fault Explanation: The northeastern parts of the Peninsular Block are separated from the Chotanagpur plateau by the Malda fault in West Bengal. 11 / 2011. What is the primary composition of the Peninsular Block? A. Sedimentary rocks B. Metamorphic rocks C. Volcanic rocks D. Ancient gneisses and granites Explanation: The Peninsular Block is primarily formed by a great complex of very ancient gneisses and granites. 12 / 2012. Which of the following landforms is NOT indicative of the youthful stage of river development in the Himalayas and other Peninsular mountains? A. Gorges B. V-shaped valleys C. Meanders D. Rapids Explanation: Gorges, V-shaped valleys, and rapids are landforms indicative of the youthful stage of river development in the Himalayas and other Peninsular mountains. Meanders are characteristic of mature or old-age rivers. 13 / 2013. Which plate was once a part of the Indian plate? A. Antarctic plate B. Australian plate C. Eurasian plate D. African plate Explanation: The Australian plate was once a part of the Indian plate before they separated millions of years ago. 14 / 2014. What is the origin of the mountains in the Himalayas and other Peninsular mountain ranges? A. Tectonic B. Volcanic C. Depositional D. Erosional Explanation: The mountains in the Himalayas and other Peninsular mountain ranges are tectonic in origin, formed by the movement and collision of Earth’s plates. 15 / 2015. Which forces have played a significant role in shaping the Earth’s surface and subsurface features? A. Centrifugal and centripetal forces B. Gravitational and magnetic forces C. Endogenic and exogenic forces D. Thermal and chemical forces Explanation: Endogenic forces (internal) and exogenic forces (external) have been the primary drivers in shaping the Earth’s surface and subsurface features. 16 / 2016. In which direction is the Indian plate currently moving? A. Eastward B. Northward C. Westward D. Southward Explanation: The Indian plate is currently moving northward, and this movement has significant consequences on the Indian subcontinent’s physical environment. 17 / 2017.

In contrast to the stable Peninsular Block, how are the Himalayas and other Peninsular mountains characterized in terms of geological structure? A. Highly eroded and weathered B. Old, rigid, and stable C. Young, weak, and flexible D. Dormant volcanic Explanation: Unlike the rigid and stable Peninsular Block, the Himalayas and other Peninsular mountains are young, weak, and flexible in their geological structure. 19 / 2019. What is the primary cause for the formation of the present geological structure and geomorphologic processes in the Indian subcontinent? A. Solar radiation and volcanic activity B. Interplay of endogenic and exogenic forces, and lateral plate movements C. Glacial activity and wind erosion D. Chemical weathering and river sedimentation Explanation: The present geological structure and geomorphologic processes in the Indian subcontinent are primarily the result of the interplay of endogenic and exogenic forces, and lateral plate movements. 20 / 2020.
