Drainage System and Patterns

Options:

1. Geological and climatic approach
2. Descriptive and genetic approach
3. Structural and geomorphological approach
4. Physical and chemical approach

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Drainage system refers to the spatial arrangement and form of drainage, while drainage pattern refers to the origin and development of streams through time.
2. Drainage system and drainage pattern are interchangeable terms.
3. Drainage system refers to the geomorphological features of the drainage area, while drainage pattern refers to the climate conditions.
4. Drainage system and drainage pattern are the same in meaning and concept.

4. Ephemeral and perennial streams

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Streams that are affected by tides
2. Streams that change direction frequently
3. Streams that follow regional slopes
4. Streams that originated prior to the upliftment of land surface

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Insequent drainage system
2. Antecedent drainage system
3. Superimposed drainage system
4. Dendritic drainage system

Correct Answer

Options:

1. They drain across geological structures
2. They follow regional slopes
3. They are affected by tides
4. They can change direction frequently

Correct Answer

Options:

1. A river that flows through a region of flat topography
2. A river that develops after the upliftment of the land area
3. A river that maintains its previous course even after the upliftment of the land area
4. A river that changes its course after the upliftment of the land area

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The rate of upliftment of land area
2. The rate of downcutting by the river
3. The nature of upliftment of land area
4. Both A and B

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The regional upliftment of land area
2. The local upliftment of land area
3. The dimension of the upliftment of land area
4. Both B and C

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The rate of downcutting is faster than the rate of upliftment
2. The rate of downcutting is slower than the rate of upliftment
3. The rate of downcutting is equal to the rate of upliftment
4. There is no relationship between the rate of downcutting and upliftment

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Streams that form after the folding and upliftment of mountains
2. Streams that existed before the folding and upliftment of mountains
3. Streams that cut across the Lesser Himalayas only
4. Streams that cut across the Outer Himalayas only

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Because they are deeper than the valleys of their master streams
2. Because they are at a higher level than the valleys of their master streams
3. Because they are located on the slopes of mountains
4. Because they are narrower than the valleys of their master streams

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The Yamuna and the Chenab
2. The Brahmaputra and the Ganges
3. The Kaveri and the Narmada
4. The Godavari and the Krishna
