Depositional Landforms

Q.

What are residual mountains? Give some examples of such mountains.

Q.

Mountains and hills differ on the basis of:

1. A mountain is created by faulting while hill is created by either faulting or erosion.

2. A mountain is often named whereas hill is often unnamed.

3. The altitude and elevation of hill is low while the altitude and elevation of mountain is high.

Q. Select the depositional landforms created by rivers.

1. Floodplains
2. Gorges
3. Levees
4. Valleys
5. Alluvial fans
6. Deltas
7. Estuaries
8. Meanders

Q. Which is/are not erosional landform(s)?

1. Deltas
2. V-shaped valley
3. Meanders
4. Floodplains

Q. When a river floods, the finer particles are deposited away from the banks whereas the coarse particles are deposited near the banks. This results in the formation of which type of landform?

1. Floodplains
2. Alluvial Fans
3. Levees
4. Deltas

Q. The longer the length of a river, the more landforms it can create.

1. True
2. False

Q. Alluvial fans are suitable for agriculture.

1. True
2. False

Q. Which is/are not depositional landform(s)?

1. Rapids
2. Alluvial Fan
3. Delta
4. Waterfall

Q. Which of the following landforms are suitable for cultivation?

1. Floodplains
2. Alluvial Fans
3. Meanders
4. Oxbow lakes

Q. How are alluvial fans created by rivers?

1. Erosion of landforms in the middle course of the river
2. Deposition of heavier sediments due to gentler slopes
3. Erosion of outer banks of a river to form a loop
4. Collapsing of hard rocks due to the pressure of a waterfall

Q. Which of the following agents of gradation can erode a mountain?

1. Rivers
2. Groundwater
3. Glaciers
4. Wind

Q. Which of the following landforms are likely to be formed near the sea?

1. Floodplains
2. Caves
3. Fjords
4. Estuaries
