Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : The highest concentration of Seismic zones lies in Himalayan region in India. Reason (R) : There are many longitudinal thrust zones in Himalayas. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below. |
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) (A) is true but (R) is not correct (A) is not correct but (R) is true |
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
(A) The highest concentration of Seismic zones lies in Himalayan region in India. (R) There are many longitudinal thrust zones in Himalayas. The Indian subcontinent is a seismically active region due to the collision of the Indian plate with the Eurasian plate. The Himalayan region, which is a result of this collision, is characterized by a high concentration of seismic zones, including thrust faults, normal faults, and fold mountains. Given that the Himalayan region has many longitudinal thrust zones (R), it is likely that these thrust zones are responsible for the high concentration of seismic zones in the region (A). Thus, the correct answer is: Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
