Q1. Which of the following states is known as the Molasse basin?
Explanation
Mizoram is commonly described in Indian physiography and geology as a molasse basin, formed by thick deposits linked with the Himalayan orogenic belt and the Indo-Myanmar ranges. Tripura also lies in the folded hill belt of the north-east, but it is not the state identified by this standard label in the question. Manipur is better known for its central valley and surrounding hills. Assam is dominated by the Brahmaputra and Barak valleys and adjoining hills, so it does not fit the molasse-basin tag asked here.
