Q79 (CAPF/2015) Geography › Indian Physical Geography › Indian physical features Answer Verified

Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the code given below the Lists : List-I (Landform feature) A. Alluvial fans B. ‘V’-shaped C. Deltas of the river D. Ox-bow lakes List-II (Location) 1. Mountainous Areas 2. Coasts valleys 3. Lower Reaches 4. Mountain Foothills Code: A B C D

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A
Explanation

The matching of landform features to their locations is based on fluvial geomorphology. Alluvial fans (A) are conical deposits formed at mountain foothills (4) where streams exit steep terrain and lose velocity [3]. 'V'-shaped valleys (B) are characteristic of the youthful stage of a river, primarily found in mountainous areas (1) where vertical erosion is dominant. Deltas (C) are formed at the river mouth where it meets the sea, typically along coasts (2) or lower reaches [2]. Ox-bow lakes (D) are U-shaped water bodies formed in the lower reaches (3) of a river when a meander is cut off from the main channel [1]. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-4, B-1, C-2, D-3, which corresponds to option 1.
