The Great Plains of North India are formed by alluvial deposits brought by Himalayan and peninsular rivers, in which the 'Bhabar' belt formed by rivers is highly permeable where rivers disappear and become underground. 4. The 'Palakkad Gap', located on the southern boundary of the Western Ghats (Sahyadri), lies between the Nilgiri and Anaimalai hills, facilitating rail and road connectivity between Kochi and Chennai. Which of the above statement(s) is/are completely correct?

Question

Gaurav Shrivastava · Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is incorrect because the Karakoram Pass is not located in the Zaskar Range but in the Karakoram Range (Ladakh region). The remaining statements 2, 3, and 4 are completely correct. The Chota Nagpur Plateau is a fine blend of rift valleys and peneplains, rivers disappear beneath pebbles in the Bhabar region, and the Palakkad Gap is a major pass of the Western Ghats situated between the Nilgiri and Anaimalai hills.
