Question 12 Marks
Write about the depositional work of ground water.
Answer
The water received by the rain accumulates in the porous rocks.
This water is called ground water.
Rainwater dissolves in the lower rock layers.
Distinctive landscapes form in limestone cliffs.
He calls it the landscape of the limestone rocks or the cast landscape.
Surface water forms many holes in the joints of limestone layers. Which are called submersible holes.
These submerged pores are enlarged by erosion and transform into youth, dollies, and pollen.
Layers of lime freeze on the roof and bottom of the cave due to deeper groundwater.
From them descending and ascending as well as cave pillars are formed.
If the roof of the cave collapses, a huge hole is formed on the surface called "polje".

Question 62 Marks
Write a short note about snow.
Answer
  • In the mountains, rocks are broken by glaciers at higher altitudes than the ice line, as well as in areas of central and high latitudes.
  • Thus changes in temperature and frost cause cracks in the rocks.
  • This is called "physical or mechanical rupture".
  • Plants, humans, animals and even some organisms play a role in this type of erosion.
  • The roots of the plant go deep into the soil.
  • In the same way some animals make their own rates by carving out soil and rocks.
  • This breaks the rocks.
  • Humans also try to get minerals out of rocks by breaking them.
  • All these activities involve physical erosion.

Question 72 Marks
Explain the formation of erosion grounds.
Answer
  • Rivers, glaciers and wind erosion erode highlands and turn them into low-lying plains.
  • Plains formed in this way are called "erosion plains".
  • Grounds in erosion are prepared by three factors.
  • In which, $(1)$ the erosion plains formed by the river $(2)$ Erosion plains formed by glaciers $(3)$ Erosion plains formed by wind.
  • This type of plain is formed when the lands of some high mountainous areas or highlands are flattened by black erosion due to continuous erosion by the river.
  • The river falls sharply on shallow rocks.
  • While solid rocks remain in their original position without erosion.
  • So the surface of these plains is not quite flat.
  • These types of grounds are called "penny plains".
  • In India, there are such plains in the Aravalli region west of Delhi.
  • Glacier-like glaciers flatten mountain peaks or valleys in cold snow-capped regions.
  • Glacier plains are less flat than rivers.
  • Norway, Sweden, Finland, Canada and other countries have such grounds.
  • Rivers, like glaciers, also form erosion plains in the desert through the combined action of erosion or erosion.
  • The ground level in these plains is thin.
  • It also has a high proportion of solid rocks.
  • Most of the deserts of the world have such plains.

Question 82 Marks
Write a short note about a domed mountain.
Answer
  • The magma in the earth's crust tries to get out,
  • But the solid rocks that come over it become an obstacle in it.
  • So that the ground layers rise in the shape of a dome just by the pressure in the magma.
  • It is called a domed mountain.
  • Outside the mountain, rock layers can be seen eroded by erosion factors, and frozen magma can be seen in the interior.
  • The mountains near the pilgrimage site Sundha Mata in Rajasthan and Henny in the $US$ state of Utah are examples of this.

Question 102 Marks
How is a cave pillar made?
Answer
Due to the deeper groundwater, a layer of lime is formed on the roofs of the caves and on their bottoms, forming a downward and upward column. When these two pillars join, a cave pillar is formed.

Question 142 Marks
What is Barkhan? What is its shape?
Answer
The winds blowing from the same direction form a moon-shaped sand dune in the deserts. It is called "Barkhan". It is high in the middle and extends in the shape of horns on both sides.

Question 152 Marks
What is a flood plain called?
Answer
When the river floods during the monsoon season, the silt of the river spreads along the banks. Thus, the deflection function of the river is called "flood plain".

Question 232 Marks
Where do landforms form from river erosion?
Answer
The mountainous state of a river is the passage of a river from the hilly regions to the plains or foothills. During this stage, river erosion creates landforms such as "V" shaped valleys, ravines, waterfalls etc.

Question 252 Marks
What is Penn plane?
Answer
The constant erosion of dynamic forces causes the mountains, the plateau to be eroded and leveled. In which shallow rocks erode rapidly. While solid rocks are found to be slowly eroding and surviving in place. Such plains are called Penn plane.

Question 322 Marks
What is a triangular field?
Answer
The mouth triangle is formed by the accumulation of abundant silt in the stream where the river meets the sea. The plain near the sea formed by the silt of the river is called the plain of the "mouth triangle" region. This ground is considered to be excellent for crops as it is more fruitful than other plains.

Question 342 Marks
What is Gad mountain?
Answer
Gads or wrinkles appear on the subsoil due to the pressure of geological forces from both sides on the rocky terrain of the subsoil. This is called "Gad mountain" when it rises as a high mountain on the surface of the earth due to more pressure on the Gad levels.

Question 362 Marks
Briefly explain about deposition.
Answer
Dynamic factors such as river, glacier, wind, ocean waves, etc., usually move the material released from the rocks by erosion and erosion in their flow or velocity. As the carrying capacity of the factors along the way slows down, the additional burden spreads again on the surface. This action is called "deposition".
