Question

Which one of the following mountain range lies in between Caspian Sea and Black Sea?

• A. Caucasus
• B. Carpathians
• C. Apennine
• D. Elburz

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The question asks about the mountain range located between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea. This is a factual question relating to geography that tests knowledge of the location of mountain ranges.

Let's evaluate the options given:

1. Caucasus: The Caucasus Mountains are indeed situated between the Caspian Sea to the east and the Black Sea to the west. This region, often referred to as the Caucasus region, spans across countries like Russia, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan.
2. Carpathians: The Carpathian Mountains extend over Central and Eastern Europe, covering countries like Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine, and Romania. They do not lie between the Caspian and Black Seas.
3. Apennine: The Apennine Mountains are in Italy and do not extend outside of the Italian peninsula, thus not located between the Caspian and Black Seas.
4. Elburz: Also known as the Alborz Mountains, these are located in northern Iran, south of the Caspian Sea, but they do not reach the Black Sea, nor are they situated between the two seas directly.

Based on the explanations above, the correct answer is the Caucasus Mountains, as they are the mountain range that lies directly between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea.

Thus, Option A: Caucasus is the correct answer.
