  6. really confused by the asnwers. first of all conveying the good fortunes for the forum for keeping aspirants on track.
    But the lot of stuff to prepare ( and revise) in hardly 3 months, i request the admin members to post the explanation part for the quiz. As some answers are really confusing and taking too much time to study books or browsing net

    Look at it this way:
    – The WCP Coast is submerged, i.e. its conti shelf covers more area than the ECP conti shelf.
    – BUT, the ECP shelf has wide accumulation of deposits from Himalayan and Peninsular rivers, making their shelf far wider and shallower than WCP.
    – WCP Conti shelf is thus deep enough to facilitate good ports. Added with natural harbours, it makes for perfect port areas. The ECP shelf is its absolute opposite.

    The anomaly of the map is easily explainable. The satellite image shows the submerged land, it does not take it into account alluvial deposits that has not stratified into sedimentary rocks yet. Therefore, it is an inaccurate description of continental shelf. You see the WCP is so much larger here because its submerged land is a well defined relief which hasnt altered much.

    Q2. It should be V shaped valleys in Himalayas. But sediment deposits on river beds is definitely wrong?
    [Guys, can we keep ONE official comment thread for every question that everyone works on. So it isn’t scattered across the comments of numerous people?]

  37. Why is the 1st option of question 2 incorrect??

  38. Can anyone explain Question number 2. U shaped valleys are indeed made in himalayas

  39. Q2 statement 4 sediments are deposited at river banks. Ten how it became characteristic of Himalaya.

    Please Note: During the formation of western Coast…it submerged into INDIAN ocean due to tectonic activity….Ab submerge hoga toh seedhi see baat hain ki shelf wider hee hoga….you can visualize it..!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/434b040186150b034a35df5145266131e3d333bf9a143ddc2206b3267dae4ad8.jpg

  43. Suprme Leader ON Kharai-Camel Avatar
    Suprme Leader ON Kharai-Camel

    Waterfalls often form in the upper stages
    of a river where it flows over different bands of rock. It erodes soft
    rock more quickly than hard rock and this may lead to the creation of a waterfall. Formation of a waterfall: The soft rock erodes more quickly, undercutting the hard rock…..Rock type pe depend krtaa hain sir.

  52. So aren’t they a part of Himalayas ?

  53. Suprme Leader ON Kharai-Camel Avatar
    Suprme Leader ON Kharai-Camel

    They are formed by melting glacier..!! The same way river forms V shaped Valley during its course.

  54. Can you please explain ques 2 about the U-shaped valleys ?

  55. Suprme Leader ON Kharai-Camel Avatar
    Suprme Leader ON Kharai-Camel

    ques1: statement 1: Difference is approx : 31 Degree
    statement 2: Eastern part of INDIA will see sunrise first. (Longitudinal difference kaa khel hain)

    ques 2: Pattkai bum located in ARunachal pradesh…Not the Part of Peninsula (Do not confuse with Karbi- Meghalya plateau which is an extension of Indian peninsular)

    ques 4: statement 1:Rivers flowing in west direction make Estuaries e.g Narmada, Tapti river etc, No delta formation.
    statement 4: Not Emerged but Submerged

    ques 5: Barren Island is located in Bay of Bengal ( Recently volcanic eruption seen)

  56. Vib2017 Avatar

    For natural harbour depth of sea is also an important factor…..west coast is deeper and submerged in nature ….also east coast has lots of rivers and they bring lot of sediments ….making the coast further shalower

  57. ab ye to satellite se hi puchna padega….

    why continental shelves appear wider in satellite images – you can look in ATLAS too

  59. THOR nd MJOLNEER Avatar
    THOR nd MJOLNEER

    Statement 1 of question 1 — 68 — 97 -> 29 degrees.
    8-37 -> 29 degrees.

    Statement 2 of question 4.

    I too need clarity on that.

  60. han to sahi baat hai na…….WCP are narrower than ECP.

    @bhavika21:disqus , @Aniruddh Shrivastava:disqus , @night_thinker:disqus – please clear my doubts if you can

  63. It is a narrow coast which is comparatively broader in the north and south.

    Where did you read that WCP has large and wide continental shelf?

  64. CSE2017 aspirant (ABG) Avatar
    CSE2017 aspirant (ABG)

    NCERT mentions the continental shelf extending up to 500 km into the sea for eastern coastal plains, which is very high.

    https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e97f970b427070bb2853dd9780c9d0f03b315de050b393bb32deef20fae3c61c.png

    However in the satellite images, we see wider continental shelf on western coastal plains

    https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8e8ab601749be653a584f52262cff96e301020522c83495bffc1b664bd61ed62.jpg

    Considering, wider continental shelves to be a major impediment on establishment of ports, I don’t think it would have been possible for western coastal plains to have so many ports in case of wide continental shelves.

    Someone, please clear the confusion.
