5. Question
There has been constant strife between India and China over the Pangong Tso lake region as both assert territorial possession. The lake is called as an “endorheic basin” which means:
CorrectSolution: A
Justification: It is a “high grassland lake”, located in the Himalayas stretching out from India to China. One-third of water body is in Indian control while the rest of the 90 km is under Chinese control.
Option A: An endorheic basin is a closed drainage basin that normally retains water and allows no outflow to other external bodies of water, such as rivers or oceans, but converges instead into lakes or swamps, permanent or seasonal, that equilibrate through evaporation. Such a basin may also be referred to as a closed or terminal basin or as an internal drainage system. The lake is in the process of being identified under the Ramsar Convention as a wetland of international importance. This will be the first trans-boundary wetland in South Asia under the convention.IncorrectSolution: A
