Question 1 of 10
1. Question
2 pointsConsider the following statements about Marine Landforms
1. Peneplains are formed when fluvial erosion of a stream at the shore doesn’t match the retreat of the sea. The rivers appear to be hanging over the sea.
2. A spit is a projected deposition joined at one end to the headland, with the other end free in the sea.
3. Tombolos are bars that connect islands to each other.
Which of the above statements are true?Correct
Sea waves, aided by winds, currents, tides and storms carry on the erosional and depositional processes. The erosive work of the sea depends upon size and strength of waves, slope, height of the shore between low and high tides, shape of the coast, composition of rocks, depth of water, human activity. Waves also use rock debris as instruments of erosion. These rock fragments carried by waves themselves get worn down by striking against the coast or against one another.
The river valleys formed when sea retreats are called hanging valleys. Peneplains are formed by agents of weathering when the level difference between plain of marine erosion and sea level is not much.Incorrect

Question 3 of 10
3. Question
2 pointsConsider the following statements about arid topography
1. A ravine is a landform narrower than a canyon and is often the product of stream cutting erosion. Ravines are typically larger in scale than gullies and smaller than valleys.
2. Badland topography consists of weakened sedimentary formations, as a result of rills and channels formed due to sheet erosion.
Which of the above statements are true?Correct
In arid regions occasional rainstorms produce numerous rills and channels which extensively erode weak sedimentary formations. Ravines and gullies are developed by linear fluvial erosion leading to the formation of badland topography.
Water Eroded Arid Landforms – Rill, Gully, Ravine, Badland Topography, Bolsons, Playas, Pediments.
Wind Eroded Arid Landforms – Deflation basins, Mushroom rocks, Inselbergs.Incorrect

Question 4 of 10
4. Question
2 pointsWhich of the following statements are true about Dolphins in India?
1. The gangetic dolphin is India’s national aquatic animal.
2. The gangetic dolphin has been declared a critically endangered aquatic animal and is one of the four freshwater dolphins species in the world.
3. India’s and Asia’s first National Dolphin Research Centre (NDRC) will come up on the bank of the Brahmaputra in West Bengal.
Choose the correct answer using the codes given belowCorrect
India’s and Asia’s first National Dolphin Research Centre (NDRC) will come up on the bank of the Ganges in the premises of Patna University. The presence of dolphins in the Ganga gives a sign of a healthy ecosystem because dolphins live at least in 5 ft to 8 ft deep water.
The gangetic dolphin has been declared an endangered aquatic animal and is one of the four freshwater dolphins species in the world. The other three species are found in the Yangtze River, the Indus River in Pakistan and the Amazon River globally. The proposed NDRC in Patna would play a major role in facilitating deep and wide research on the life cycle of dolphins and their behavioural significance in context with climate change.Incorrect
