Himalayan Glaciers Locations Explained
This question asks us to identify the correctly matched pairs of Himalayan Glaciers and their corresponding locations. Let's analyze each pair:
1. Siachen – Nubra Valley Region
Siachen Glacier is indeed located in the Nubra Valley region, in the eastern Karakoram Range. It is the second-longest glacier in the non-polar regions of the world. Therefore, this pair is correctly matched.
2. Chungphar – Kumaon-Garhwal Region
Chungphar Glacier is located in the Karakoram Range, near Skardu, Pakistan. The Kumaon-Garhwal region refers to a part of the Indian Himalayas in Uttarakhand, which is geographically distinct from the location of Chungphar Glacier. Therefore, this pair is incorrectly matched.
3. Zemu – Central Nepal Region
Zemu Glacier is the largest glacier in the Kangchenjunga group and is located in the Sikkim region of the Indian Himalayas (Eastern Himalayas). The Central Nepal region is a different geographical area. Therefore, this pair is incorrectly matched.
4. Gasherbrum – Pir Panjal Range
Gasherbrum Glaciers are associated with the Gasherbrum peaks, which are part of the Karakoram Range. The Pir Panjal Range is a sub- Himalayan range that runs across Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir in India, and parts of Pakistan. It is a different mountain range from the Karakoram. Therefore, this pair is incorrectly matched.
Conclusion on Glacier Pairs
Based on the analysis:
- Pair 1 (Siachen – Nubra Valley Region) is correctly matched.
- Pair 2 (Chungphar – Kumaon-Garhwal Region) is incorrectly matched.
- Pair 3 (Zemu – Central Nepal Region) is incorrectly matched.
- Pair 4 (Gasherbrum – Pir Panjal Range) is incorrectly matched.
Therefore, only the first pair is correctly matched.
Selecting the Correct Option
The question asks to select the answer using the provided codes. Since only the first pair is correctly matched, the correct option is the one that indicates '1 only'.
