Q88 (NDA-II/2016) Geography › World Physical Geography › Weathering and erosion Answer Verified

Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the code given below the Lists: List I (Geomorphic Agent) A. Ground water B. Running water C. Glacier D. Wind Code : List II (Feature) 1. Plunge pool 2. Horns 3. Playas 4. Lapies A B C D

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The matching of geomorphic agents to their respective landforms is as follows: Ground water is associated with Lapies, which are solutional grooves and ridges formed on limestone surfaces through chemical weathering. Running water creates Plunge pools, which are deep depressions at the base of waterfalls formed by the erosive force of falling water and debris. Glaciers are responsible for forming Horns, which are sharp-pointed peaks created when several cirques erode the same mountain summit from different sides [2]. Wind action in arid regions leads to the formation of Playas, which are shallow, flat-bottomed depressions that temporarily fill with water after rain and then dry up. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-4, B-1, C-2, D-3, corresponding to option 1.
