Explanation
The map represents the distribution of Limestone in India. This is because the highlighted areas coincide with major sedimentary rock formations across the country. Limestone is primarily found in the Cuddapah and Kurnool systems of Andhra Pradesh, the Vindhyan system in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, and parts of Karnataka, Gujarat, and Himachal Pradesh. The other minerals listed, such as Mica or Asbestos, have much more localized and specific distribution patterns that do not cover the extensive regions shown in the map.
