Hazard and Prone Area Matching Solution
This solution explains the matching of natural hazards to specific prone areas in India.
Hazard Prone Area Matching Details
- A. GLOF: Glacial Lake Outburst Floods are associated with high-altitude glacial regions. Sikkim (III) is a Himalayan state, making it prone to GLOFs.
- B. Landslide: Steep slopes and heavy rainfall contribute to landslides. The Western Ghats (IV) is a major mountain range known for landslide susceptibility.
- C. Tropical Cyclone: These severe storms impact coastal regions. Odisha (I) is highly vulnerable due to its location on the eastern coast, facing the Bay of Bengal.
- D. Earthquake: Certain geological zones are prone to seismic activity. Kutch (II) in Gujarat is a region with significant historical earthquake occurrences.
Summary of Matches
The correct pairings are:
- GLOF (A) - Sikkim (III)
- Landslide (B) - Western Ghats (IV)
- Tropical Cyclone (C) - Odisha (I)
- Earthquake (D) - Kutch (II)
This corresponds to the option A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II.
