With reference to Karst topography, consider the following statements:
It is mainly produced by the action of groundwater.
It is a landform formed only by erosional processes.
Which of the Statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Ans: A
Exp:
Statement 1 is correct: Karst topography, often referred to simply as “karst,” is a distinctive landscape that results from the dissolution of soluble rocks, primarily limestone, gypsum, and dolomite. It is characterised by various unique surface features, including sinkholes, caves, disappearing streams, underground drainage systems, and limestone pavements.. Any limestone or dolomitic region showing typical landforms produced by the action of groundwater through the processes of solution and deposition is called Karst topography.
Statement 2 is incorrect: In Karst topography, both erosional and depositional factors are active in the formation of landforms like Pools, Sinkholes, Lapies and Limestone Pavements, Stalactites, Stalagmites and Pillars respectively .

‘Cirque, Arete, Truncated Spurs, and Moraine’ are the landforms associated with which of the following?
Correct
Ans: D
Exp:
Cirque,Arete,Spurs,and Moraine are landforms associated with glacial landscapes. The movement of glaciers is slow, unlike water flow. Glaciers move basically because of the force of gravity.
Cirques are the most common landforms in glaciated mountains and are found at the heads of glacial valleys. A lake of water can be seen quite often within the cirques after the glacier disappears. Such lakes are called cirque or tarn lakes
Arete is a narrow, sharp ridge that separates two cirques, or glacial valleys. It forms when two glaciers erode parallel valleys on opposite sides of a mountain or ridge. As the glaciers erode the rock, they leave behind a sharp crest that can be quite dramatic and steep.
Truncated Spurs are elongated ridges that extend outward from the sides of a glacial valley. They are formed when the glacier erodes the sides of the valley, leaving behind triangular-shaped landforms that jut out into the valley.
Moraines are long ridges of glacial till. Terminal moraines are long ridges of debris deposited at the end (toe) of the glaciers. Lateral moraines form along the sides, parallel to the glacial valleys.

With reference to landforms, consider the following statement ?
Fjords are landforms found on low sedimentary coasts.
Lagoons are former glacial valleys in coastal areas.
The west coast of India is a high, rocky, retreating coast, and the east coast of India is a low, sedimentary coast.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Correct
Ans: A
Exp:
Statement 1 is incorrect: Along the high, rocky coasts, the rivers appear to have been drowned by a highly irregular coastline. The coastline appears highly indented with an extension of water into the land where glacial valleys (fjords) are present. The hillsides drop sharply into the water. Shores do not show any depositional landforms initially.
Statement 2 is incorrect: Along low sedimentary coasts, the rivers appear to extend their length by building coastal plains and deltas. The coastline appears smooth, with occasional incursions of water in the form of lagoons and tidal creeks. The land slopes gently into the water. Marshes and swamps may abound along the coast.
Statement 3 is correct:The west coast of India is a high rocky retreating coast and Erosional forms dominate the west coast. The east coast of India is a low sedimentary coast and Depositional forms dominate in the east coast

Which of the following are the depositional landforms of running water?
Deltas
Alluvial fans
Flood plains
Potholes
Plunge pools
Valleys
Select the correct answer using the codes given below.
Correct
Ans: C
Exp:
In humid regions, which receive heavy rainfall running water is considered the most important of the geomorphic agents in bringing about the degradation of the land surface. There are two components of running water. One is overland flow on general land surface as a sheet. Another is linear flow as streams and rivers in valleys.
Erosional landforms of running water are :
Valleys
Potholes
Plunge pools
Incised meanders
River terrace
Depositional landforms of running water are :
Deltas
Alluvial fans
Flood plains
Point bar
Meanders
Reference: NCERT class 11 , Chapter 6

Consider the following statements regarding gorges and canyons:
A gorge and a canyon are both geological landforms associated with erosional features of rivers with deep valleys.
A gorge is wider at its top than at its bottom, and a canyon is almost equal in width at its top as well as its bottom.
Which of the Statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Ans: A
Exp:
Statement 1 is correct: A gorge and a canyon are both geological landforms associated with erosional features of rivers with deep valleys, but they have some distinguishing characteristics. A gorge is a deep valley with very steep to straight sides, and the canyon is characterised by steep step-like side slopes.
Statement 2 is incorrect: A gorge is almost equal in width at its top as well as its bottom. In contrast, a canyon is wider at its top than at its bottom. In fact, a canyon is a variant of gorge.
