Q. Hubbert peak theory is related to which of the following?
Answer: Petroleum
Notes: Hubbert peak theory is a theory that states that the rate of oil production for a given area or region will follow a bell-shaped curve, with production increasing at first, reaching a peak, and then eventually declining. This theory was proposed by geologist M. King Hubbert in the 1950s, who used it to accurately predict that US oil production would peak in the early 1970s. The theory is also known as peak oil theory, as it predicts that global oil production will eventually peak and then decline, potentially leading to shortages and major economic and social disruptions.
