Q23 (CDS-II/2006) Geography › World Physical Geography › World physical mapping Answer Verified

Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The pair 'Great Slave: Russia' is incorrectly matched. Great Slave Lake is located in the Northwest Territories of Canada [t1][t2]. It is recognized as the deepest lake in North America, reaching a maximum depth of approximately 614 meters [t2][t8]. In contrast, Lake Superior is correctly matched as it straddles the border between the United States and Canada [t2][t6]. Lake Baikal is accurately located in the Siberia region of Russia and is the world's deepest freshwater lake [c4][t1]. Great Bear Lake is also correctly matched to Canada, being the largest lake entirely within Canadian borders and situated in the Northwest Territories [t5][t8]. Therefore, while Superior, Baikal, and Great Bear are correctly associated with their respective countries, Great Slave Lake is a Canadian landmark, not a Russian one [t1][t5].
