Q61 (IAS/2002) Geography › Indian Physical Geography › Indian coastal geography Answer Verified

Match List I (Mangrove ) with List II (State) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists

Mangrove) | (State)
A. Achra Ratnagiri | 1. Karnataka
B. Coondapur | 2. Kerala
C. Pichavaram | 3. Andhra Pradesh
D. Vembanad | 4. Maharashtra
| 5. Tamil Nadu

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 (A-4, B-1, C-5, D-2). This matching accurately aligns the specific mangrove sites with their respective Indian states based on geographical distribution:

  • A - Achra Ratnagiri (4): Located in the Maharashtra coastline, Ratnagiri is a prominent site known for its rich mangrove biodiversity along the Konkan coast.
  • B - Coondapur (1): Also known as Kundapura, this site is situated in the Udupi district of Karnataka.
  • C - Pichavaram (5): Located in Tamil Nadu, it is one of the largest mangrove forests in India, famous for its unique water-based ecosystem near Chidambaram.
  • D - Vembanad (2): Vembanad is the largest lake in Kerala, and its associated backwaters support significant mangrove vegetation.

Other options are incorrect because they misplace regional landmarks; for instance, Vembanad is exclusively associated with Kerala, not Maharashtra (as suggested in Option 1), and Pichavaram is a landmark site of Tamil Nadu, not Andhra Pradesh.
