Karst Geomorphology

Options:

1. H. Roques
2. Jovan Cvijic
3. W.M. Davis
4. W.F. Beede

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Development of surface drainage
2. Disappearance of surface drainage underground
3. Reappearance of subterranean drainage as surface drainage
4. All of the above

Correct Answer

Options:

1. A cycle of erosion caused by water table of groundwater
2. A cycle of erosion caused by sink holes and swallow holes
3. A cycle of erosion caused by rainwater mixed with atmospheric carbon dioxide reacting with limestone
4. A cycle of erosion caused by faulted beds of limestone

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Exposure of thick limestone cover at the ground surface and shale cover overlain by non-soluble rocks
2. Exposure of thin limestone cover at the ground surface and sandstone cover overlain by non-soluble rocks
3. Exposure of thick limestone cover at the ground surface and limestone cover overlain by non-soluble rocks
4. Exposure of thin limestone cover at the ground surface and shale cover overlain by non-soluble rocks

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Folded sandstones and non-soluble rocks
2. Folded shales and non-soluble rocks
3. Folded limestones and non-soluble rocks
4. Faulted limestones and soluble rocks

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Beede – youth, maturity, old stage
2. Cvijic – youth, mature, late maturity, old stage
3. Beede – youth, mature, late maturity
4. Cvijic – youth, maturity, old stage

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Surface drainage disappears underground through sink holes and swallow holes
2. Ground surface is characterized by rough terrain due to development of ‘lapies’
3. Surface runoff first removes thin deposits of insoluble or non-calcareous formations
4. Rainwater immediately comes in contact with the rocks and starts dissociating them

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Caves, sinkholes, lapies, blind valleys
2. Uvalas, poljes, karst windows
3. Dry, waterless conditions
4. Thin cave roofs causing their collapse

Correct Answer

Options:

1. By the destruction of most solutional landforms
2. By the appearance of surface drainage
3. By the disappearance of surface drainage underground
4. By the formation of uvalas, poljes, and karst windows

Correct Answer

Options:

1. They become thicker
2. They undergo thinning
3. They collapse
4. They become narrower

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Increased volume of water due to maximum development of subterranean drainage
2. Destruction of most solutional landforms
3. Total collapse of cave roofs
4. Ridging between uvalas becoming reduced in height

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The residuals of carbonate rocks that project slightly above the ground
2. The subterranean drainage that appears on the ground surface
3. The ridges between uvalas that become reduced in height
4. The pitted surface that resembles the peneplain of normal fluvial cycle of erosion
