Correct Answer

Options:

1. Lack of requisite evidence and problems with dating slope development.
2. Lack of interest in the subject matter and difficulties with accessing the slopes.
3. Difficulty in measuring slope angle and inconsistency in the types of rocks.
4. None of the above.

Correct Answer

Options:

1. There is no relationship between slope types and geomorphic processes.
2. There is an indirect relationship between slope types and geomorphic processes.
3. There is a direct relationship between slope types and geomorphic processes.
4. There is a direct relationship between slope types and vegetation cover.

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The difficulty in isolating the processes affecting slope development and the fact that slope forming processes operate very slowly.
2. The difficulty in measuring slope angle and the inconsistency in the types of rocks.
3. The difficulty in measuring the rates of action of slope forming processes and the lack of interest in the subject matter.
4. None of the above.

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The crestal areas of hillslope are eroded by surface runoff and debris flow.
2. The crestal areas of hillslope are least eroded by surface runoff and rainwash smoothes the hill crest to give it a convex plan.
