The Patli Dun is associated with which physiographic division of India?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The Himalayan Mountains.

The Patli Dun is associated with the Himalayan Mountains. It is a longitudinal valley in the Sivalik Hills, forming part of the Sub-Himalayan region. Patli Dun lies between the outer Himalayan ranges and is characterized by fertile land, suitable for agriculture and settlement. It serves as an important corridor connecting the Doon Valley with other Himalayan regions.

Other options explained:

  • The Peninsular Plateau: Comprises ancient, stable land in southern and central India; unrelated to Patli Dun.

  • The Indian Desert: Refers to the Thar Desert in Rajasthan, an arid region, not a valley in the Himalayas.

  • The Coastal Plains: Flat regions along India’s eastern and western coasts, far from the Sivalik Hills.
