1. River Terraces are formed due to erosional processes.
2. Unpaired Terraces refers to Terrace formation only one bank of the river.
3. Tectonic upliftment can also form River Terraces.
Which of the following are ‘Correct’ ?

• A. 1 only
• B. 1 and 2 only

Paired terraces may occur at a similar elevation on either side of the rivers whereas Unpaired terraces is present only on one side of the stream.
Apart from sea level change and changes in hydrological regime,tectonic shifts is also one of the reasons for river terraces formation.
