Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Rann of Kutch
The Great/Little Rann of Kachchh is a vast salt-marsh created by repeated falls (regressions) of the Arabian Sea that exposed the sea-floor and formed today’s extensive marshy flats. Bhitarkanika is an estuarine mangrove system, Marakkanam is an artificial salt-pan, and Naupada is a lagoonal swamp; none of these owe their origin to repeated sea-level fall.
