Q86 (CDS-II/2023) Geography › World Physical Geography › World physical mapping Answer Verified

Which of the following pairs is/are correctly matched? Plateau : Continent 1. Abyssinian : Africa 2. Patagonian : Australia 3. Anatolian : Asia 4. Iberian : North America

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Abyssinian Plateau, also known as the Ethiopian Highlands, is located in the Horn of Africa, specifically within Ethiopia [1]. The Anatolian Plateau is situated in Asia Minor, primarily within the modern-day country of Turkey. These two pairs are correctly matched. Conversely, the Patagonian Plateau is located in South America (Argentina and Chile), not Australia. The Iberian Plateau (Meseta) is located on the Iberian Peninsula in Europe, encompassing Spain and Portugal, rather than North America. Therefore, only pairs 1 and 3 are accurate. The geographical distribution of these landforms is a result of tectonic activities and continental drift, which have shaped the distinct physical features of each continent over geological time.
