Statement 1: Limestones can’t bear the heavy weight of Himalayas. The core is actually made of granite rocks.
Statement 2: It is one of the rivers in India that flows in a rift valley, flowing west between the Satpura and Vindhya ranges.
Statement 3: The Deccan Plateau is a large triangular plateau, bounded by the Vindhyas to the north and flanked by the Eastern and Western Ghats.
This region is mostly semi-arid as it lies on the leeward side of both Ghats. Much of the Deccan is covered by thorn scrub forest scattered with small regions of deciduous broadleaf forest. Climate in the Deccan ranges from hot summers to mild winters.

Collision junction between continental and continental crust often heats underground water resources. It is called as geothermal energy. Geothermal energy normally takes two forms: Geysers and Hot springs.
In geysers, flow of hot water is obstructed by underground rock, so due to intense pressure and heat, it gushes like a fountain. However, in hot springs – water comes out of the earth’s surface without any pressure. Geysers can be found only in few regions of the world. Best example: Hot geysers in Yellow stone national park, U.S.A.
Hot springs can be found in most of the continental and continental collision region. Best example: Manikaran in Parvati valley of Himalayas.

Option d is correct.

Sathyamangalam forest range is a significant wildlife corridor in the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve between the Western Ghats and the rest of the Eastern Ghats and a genetic link between the four other protected areas which it adjoins, including the Billigiriranga Swamy Temple Wildlife Sanctuary, Sigur Plateau, Mudumalai National Park and Bandipur National Park. 

Foot loose industries can be located in a wide variety of places. They are not dependent on any specific raw material, weight losing or otherwise. They largely depend on component parts which can be obtained anywhere. They produce in small quantity and also employ a small labour force. These are generally not polluting industries.
The important factor in their location is accessibility by road network. Diamonds, computer chips, and mobile manufacturing are some examples of footloose industries. Non-footloose industries generally require raw material availability within a time limit to make products. Sugar industry, jute industry and tea industry are the examples of non-footloose industries.
