Hillslope

Options:

1. At the top of the slope
2. At the middle of the slope
3. At the basal slope
4. At the intersection point of upper slope segment

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The gradient of the basal slope is higher
2. The gradient of the cliff slope is higher
3. The gradient of the basal slope is lower
4. The gradient of the cliff slope is lower

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The rock debris begins to move downwards on all segments of slope profile.
2. The rock debris begins to move upwards on all segments of slope profile.
3. The rock debris starts accumulating at the basal slope.
4. The rock debris starts accumulating at the cliff slope.

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The application of the mechanism of rockfall and instantaneous removal of debris from cliff slope to the regolith-covered slope is unrealistic, and Penck’s assumption that all parts of basal slopes or its later replacement slopes are equally exposed to weathering is erroneous.
2. The assumption that all parts of the basal slope are equally exposed to weathering is erroneous, and the assumption that debris does not move from the lowest slope segment because of lack of sufficient slope gradient is unrealisti
3. The application of the mechanism of rockfall and instantaneous removal of debris from cliff slope to the regolith-covered slope is unrealistic, and the mechanism of slope development based on the rate of stream erosion is flawe
4. The assumption that debris does not move from the lowest slope segment because of lack of sufficient slope gradient is unrealistic, and the mechanism of slope development based on the rate of stream erosion is flawe

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The arbitrary assumption of transforming convex rock slope into concave slope form.
2. The lack of detailed field observations by King.
3. The modification of topographic features by Pleistocene glaciation.
4. The rejection of basic tenets of climatic geomorphology.

Correct Answer

Options:

1. A model based on detailed field observations of slope making and controlling processes.
2. A broad view based on reconnaissance observations on a world scale.
3. A theory that landscapes are developed in humid temperate climates and areas.
4. A concept that slope forms vary from one climatic type to the other.

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Most of the topographic features had been modified by Pleistocene glaciation.
2. Humid temperate climates and areas could not be normal for landscape development.
3. Present-day landforms are relict features developed in the past periglacial climate.
4. Subtropical semi-humid regions are the most normal for landscape evolution.

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The variations in slope forms and slope elements depend on climatic types.
2. The basic physical controls of landscape remain the same in all climatic environments.
3. Slope forms vary from one climatic type to the other.
4. The variations in slope forms and slope elements depend on the degree of aridity.
