Practice question

Anaimudi, elevated 2695 meters above sea level, is highest peak in Western Ghats and highest in peninsular India outside Himalayas, situated at confluence of Anaimalai, Cardamom, and Palani hills in Eravikulam National Park, Idukki district Kerala. Composed of Precambrian gneiss, surrounded by shola-grassland mosaic supporting Nilgiri tahr endemic goat. Name translates elephant forehead resembling elephant head. Anaimudi serves as catchment for Periyar and Muthirapuzha rivers, biogeographic landmark demarcating high-altitude southern Western Ghats ecosystem distinct from lower Nilgiris. Field identification relies on this character, making it essential for wildlife surveys and protected area management protocols.
