Question

Adam Bridge is located between India and ______________.
A. Nepal
B. China
C. Sri Lanka
D. Myanmar

Answer 1

Hint:This Bridge is a chain of limestone shoals of Dhanushkodi tip of India’s Pamban Island and ends at Sri Lanka’s Mannar Island.
It is also known as Rameswaram Island, off the south-eastern coast of Tamil Nadu, India, and Mannar Island, off the north-western coast of Sri Lanka, also known as Rama's Bridge or Rama Setu.

Complete answer:
This is the only former bridge which connects the land between India and Sri Lanka. This bridge is 48 km (30 mi) long which separates it from the Gulf of Mannar (south-west) from the Palk Strait (northeast). Its few regions are dry and its sea hinders navigation because the sea in the area rarely exceeds 1 m (3 feet) in depth. Until the 15th century, when storms deepened the river, it was reportedly passable on foot:-temple documents tend to suggest that Adam's Bridge was completely above sea level until it collapsed in a cyclone in 1480. After the destruction of this natural bridge due to a terrible cyclone, ships can no longer transit in that stretch of water known as the Strait of Palk, in the Indian Ocean because the seabed is too low. But, now after decades this thin strip of Land has re-emerged from the water, forming many small Islands and Sandbanks altering Asia’s Geography.

Hence the correct answer is option C.

Note:This Bridge mainly consists of a series of parallel ledges of sandstone and conglomerates that are hard at the surface and grow coarse and soft as they descend to sandy banks.
It is structured as a chain of shoals, coral reefs which forms a ridge in the region owing to thinning of the Earth’s Crust or barrier land.
