Ranthambhor Fort KBG-41 Answer

 KBG-41 evoked enthusiastic response from more than 350 readers through all the channels.

The clues highlighted the sparse vegetation on the hill slopes, rock shapes and formations. Despite the clues, the readers gave Golconda and Chittorgarh Forts as the answer. Do recall our geography lessons in the middle school. The difference in the age, type of rocks and shapes between the Aravalli, Satpura and the Vindhya ranges! Ranthambhore fort, the correct answer, is part of the Aravali range which is an example of fold mountains. 

Fold mountains are formed when two plates move together. This can be where two continental plates move towards each other or a continental and an oceanic plate. The movement of the two plates forces sedimentary rocks upwards into a series of folds. Our pictures shown in KBG-41 highlighted the folds.
