Which state is also known as the ‘Molasses basin’, which is made up of soft unconsolidated deposits? / किस राज्य को ‘मोलासेस बेसिन’ कहा जाता है, जो मुलायम असंयोजित निक्षेपों से बना है? [SSC CGL 19 July 2023, 3rd Shift]
Answer
Correct Answer : d ) Meghalaya / मेघालय
Explanation :Meghalaya is known as the "Molasse Basin" because its geological structure primarily consists of soft, unconsolidated sedimentary deposits.
These deposits were formed by the accumulation of sediments over a long period.
Due to its soft nature, the region is highly susceptible to erosion and landslides, which is a characteristic feature of the Molasse Basin.
Hence, (d) is the correct answer.
मेघालय को "मोलासे बेसिन" के नाम से जाना जाता है क्योंकि इसकी भूवैज्ञानिक संरचना मुख्य रूप से नरम, असंगठित अवसादी निक्षेपों से बनी है।
ये निक्षेप लंबे समय तक अवसादों के संचय से बने हैं।
अपनी नरम प्रकृति के कारण, यह क्षेत्र अपरदन और भूस्खलन के प्रति अत्यधिक संवेदनशील है, जो मोलासे बेसिन की एक विशिष्ट विशेषता है।
अतः, (d) सही उत्तर है।
