Which one of the following is the best example of repeated falls in sea level, giving rise to present-day extensive marshland?
(a) Bhitarkanika Mangroves
(b) Marakkanam Salt Pans
(c) Naupada Swamp
(d) Rann of Kutch
Answer: D
The correct answer is (d) Rann of Kutch.
The Rann of Kutch is the best example of repeated falls in sea level, giving rise to present-day extensive marshland. It is a large seasonal salt marsh located in the Thar Desert in the Kutch district of Gujarat, India. The area experiences a significant variation in sea level due to geological processes and climatic changes over time. As a result, the Rann of Kutch has evolved into a unique ecosystem characterized by marshy terrain, salt flats, and wetlands.
