Question 10

A regional planner is tasked with identifying areas most susceptible to severe flooding during monsoon seasons in Kerala, while also considering regions prone to significant soil erosion and landslides. Which two physiographic regions would likely be prioritized for flood mitigation and landslide prevention measures, respectively?

Accepted Answer

C. Lowland for flooding, Highland for landslides. — The Lowland region, being flat, low-lying, and crisscrossed by numerous rivers and backwaters, is highly vulnerable to severe flooding, especially during heavy monsoons. In contrast, the Highland region, with its steep slopes, high rainfall, and often fragile geological formations, is most susceptible to significant soil erosion and landslides, necessitating targeted prevention measures. Midland and Coastal Plain have varying degrees of these issues but are not the primary zones for the 'most susceptible' criteria as described.

Answer

A. Midland for flooding, Lowland for landslides.

Answer

B. Highland for flooding, Coastal Plain for landslides.

Answer

D. Coastal Plain for flooding, Midland for landslides.
