UPSC 1997: Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists: List I I. Deccan Traps II. Western Ghats III. Aravalli IV. Narmada-Tapi List II A) Late Cenozoic B) Pre-Cambrian C) Cretaceous-Eocene D) Cambrian Alluvial deposits E) Pleistocene Codes:

• Deccan Traps basalt flows were erupted at the end-Cretaceous and continued into the early Eocene (I → C). • Western Ghats represent the faulted western edge of the Deccan Plateau and are dated to the late Cenozoic uplift (II → A). • The Aravalli range is one of the world’s oldest fold belts, formed in Precambrian time (III → B). • The Narmada–Tapi graben contains Quaternary/Pleistocene alluvial fills produced by continuing subsidence (IV → E). Thus the correct sequence is I-C, II-A, III-B, IV-E. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deccan_Traps?utm_source=openai))
