Question

Q. Consider the following pairs of landforms and agents that cause them:

Landform	Agent
1. Barchans	Wind
2. Tombolos	Glaciers
3. Drumlins	Waves

Which of the above pairs is/are correctly matched?

• A.
  1 only
• B.
  1 and 2 only
• C.
  2 and 3 only
• D.
  1, 2 and 3

Answer 1

The correct option is A

1 only
Explanation:

Pair 1 is correctly matched: Barchans are the crescent-shaped dune formed due to the action of wind. They are depositional landforms.

Pair 2 is incorrectly matched: A tombolo is a sandy isthmus formed in the water body due to the action of waves. Tombolos are depositional landforms.

Pair 3 is incorrectly matched: Drumlins are elongated, teardrop-shaped hills of rock, sand, and gravel that formed under moving glacier ice. Drumlins are also depositional landforms.
