Chambal Ravines are found in which Indian states?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh.

The Chambal Ravines, also known as "Badlands," are located along the basin of the Chambal River across the states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh. These unique landforms are a result of severe gully erosion caused by the river cutting through the alluvial soil over centuries. Characterized by deep, narrow valleys and steep ridges, this rugged terrain spans districts like Morena (MP), Dholpur (Rajasthan), and Etawah (UP). The area is ecologically significant but historically famous for being difficult to traverse and inhabit.
