Which one of the following statements is/are true
1. Porosity refers to the presence of small gaps between the constituent mineral particles of a rock

2. Only B
3. Neither A nor B
4. Both A and B
Option: D
Which one of the following statements is/are true
1. Highly permeable rocks (for example, sandstones and limestones) disfavour erosion as these allow more efficient percolation of water and form high relief topography e.g., high plateaus, escarpments and ridges

2. Only B
3. Neither A nor B
4. Both A and B
Option: D
Which one of the following statements is/are true
1. Endogenetic processes originating from within the earth and introduce vertical irregularities on the earth’s surface
