Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I

Theories	Proponents
Thermal Contraction Theory	Jeffrey’s theory is based essentially on the history of the contraction of the earth. According to Jeffreys, the earth began to shrink because of contraction caused by gradual cooling of the earth due to loss of heat through radiation from the very beginning of its origin. He has mathematically calculated the extent of contraction on cooling.
Theory of Geosyncline	Geosyncline, a linear trough of subsidence of the Earth’s crust within which vast amounts of sediment accumulate. The filling of a geosyncline with thousands or tens of thousands of feet of sediment is accompanied in the late stages of deposition by folding, crumpling, and faulting of the deposits. It is given by Hall and Dana
Theory of Seafloor spreading	Seafloor spreading, the theory that oceanic crust forms along submarine mountain zones, known collectively as the mid-ocean ridge system, and spreads out laterally away from them. It was proposed by the American geophysicist Harry H. Hess in 1960.
Doctrine of Uniformatarianism	The principle of uniformitarianism is essential to understanding Earth’s history. However, prior to 1830, uniformitarianism was not the prevailing theory. Until that time, scientists subscribed to the idea of catastrophism. Catastrophism suggested the features seen on the surface of Earth, such as mountains, were formed by large, abrupt changes—or catastrophes. When discussing past climates, opponents to uniformitarianism may speak of no-analog changes. This idea suggests by James Hutton.

Classification of state	Van Valkenburg proposed a Commission for developing a Land Use Inventory procedure for all countries and UNESCO provided the grant in The International Geographical Union Congress’ 1949. He was a member from the USA in the five-member committee
Law of territorial growth of states	Fridrich Ratzel, a German geographer introduced the 'Organic Theory of State' influenced by the Darwinian theory of evolution of the organism. He explains the territorial growth of a state like an organism He also introduces the concept of 'Lebensraum' or 'living space'

Consider the following statements regarding Tso Kar wetland from India has been added as a Ramsar convention site. 1. Tso Kar Basin consists of three principal waterbodies.2.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Neither 1 nor 2

The correct answer is Neither 1 nor 2.

Tso Kar wetland in the Changthang region of Ladakh from India has been added as a Ramsar site.

With the addition of Tso Kar wetland, there are 42 Ramsar sites in India.
Tso Kar Basin is a high-altitude wetland complex that consists of two principal waterbodies:-
- Startsapuk Tso, a freshwater lake
- Tso Kar itself, a hypersaline lake
Hence, statement 1 is not correct.
It is called Tso Kar which means white lake.
It is called white lake because of the white salt efflorescence found on the margins due to the evaporation of highly saline water. Hence, statement 2 is not correct.
The Lonar Lake in Maharashtra and Sur Sarovar, also known as Keetham lake, in Agra were added to the list of Ramsar sites last month.
The Asan Conservation Reserve in Dehradun, the first wetland from Uttarakhand to be recognised by Ramsar, was added to the list in October.

Ramsar Convention is an international treaty for the conservation and wise use of wetlands.
It is named after the Iranian city of Ramsar, on the Caspian Sea, where the treaty was signed on 2 February 1971.
Wetlands provide a wide range of important resources and ecosystem services such as food, water, fibre, groundwater recharge, water purification, flood moderation, erosion control and climate regulation.
10 wetlands in India were recognised by the Ramsar Convention in January 2020. These are Nandur Madhameshwar in Maharashtra, Keshopur-Miani, Beas Conservation Reserve and Nangal in Punjab, and Nawabganj, Parvati Agra, Saman, Samaspur, Sandi and SarsaiNawar in Uttar Pradesh.
