Practice questions

Q1Mushroom rocks, shifting dunes and playas are features of which of the following regions of India?

A The Island
B The Coastal Plains
C The Indian Desert
D The Peninsular Plateau
Explanation

The Indian Desert is identified by arid-land features such as mushroom rocks shaped by wind abrasion, shifting sand dunes moved by strong winds, and playas or saline shallow lake beds. Island areas are shaped more by marine processes and coral or volcanic features. Coastal plains are associated with beaches, lagoons, deltas and estuaries rather than desert landforms. The Peninsular Plateau is marked by old hard rocks, plateaus, river valleys and residual hills, not the typical aeolian landforms listed in the question.
