Question

The channel separating the Andaman and Nicobar Islands is called the Ten Degree Channel.
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Hint: The Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a union territory of India, are a group of 572 islands of which 38 are inhabited at the interlude of the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea. The islands present the Andaman and Nicobar Command, the solitary tri-service geographical command of the Indian Armed Forces. The Andaman Islands are also residence to the Sentinelese people, an uncontacted tribe. The Sentinelese might be the only people presently identified to not have stretched further than a Paleolithic level of knowledge, still, this is uncertain, as an indication of metalwork was discovered on their island.

Complete Answer:
The Ten Degree Channel is a conduit that fragments the Andaman Islands and the Nicobar Islands from each other in the Bay of Bengal. The 2 groups of islands together establish the Indian Union Territory (UT) of Andaman and the Nicobar Islands. This channel is 150 km (93 mi) widespread from north to south, and roughly 10 km ($6.2$ mi) elongated from east to west. It has the lowest depth of $7.3$ m and lies from east to west on the 10-degree line of latitude north of the equator, henceforth the name.

Thus, option (A) is correct.

Note: The lone volcano in India, Barren Island, is situated in Andaman and Nicobar. It is a functioning volcano and had last exploded in 2017. It also has a mud volcano located in Baratang island, these mud volcanoes have exploded infrequently, with the latest explosions in 2005 supposed to have been related to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. The preceding chief explosion was documented on February 18, 2003. The inhabitants identify this mud volcano Jalki. There are further volcanoes in the region. This island's beaches, mangrove coves, limestone caves, and mud volcanoes are some of the physical landscapes.
