Which one of the following river valleys is associated with the production of coal ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A

Explanation

In India, coal deposits are primarily found in two geological sequences: Gondwana and Tertiary. About 98% of India's coal reserves belong to the Gondwana period. These coalfields are mainly concentrated in the river valleys of the Damodar, Sone, Mahanadi, and Godavari.

  • Sone Valley: This region includes significant coalfields like Singrauli (located in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh), Sohagpur, Umaria, and Tatapani-Ramkola.
  • Other Options: The Alaknanda, Chambal, and Yamuna river valleys are not associated with major coal-bearing rock formations. Alaknanda is a Himalayan river, while Chambal and Yamuna flow through regions dominated by alluvial or Vindhyan formations which lack significant coal deposits.
