4. There is a uniform relationship between geology and landforms

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Prediction of future events and changes in landforms and processes.
2. Description of landforms in evolutionary manner.
3. Explanation of the formation of unique events.
4. None of the above.

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Models of cycle of erosion.
2. Denudation chronology.
3. Tectonic theory.
4. All of the above.

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Because they are based on unique events and non-repeatable processes.
2. Because they are based on a host of events and their recurrence.
3. Because they are based on a combination of scientific and historical events.
4. None of the above.

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Cycle of erosion.
2. Denudation chronology.
3. Geographical cycle.
4. Tectonic theory.

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Prediction of future events and changes in landforms and processes.
2. Description of landforms in evolutionary manner.
3. Reconstruction of successive stages of the earth's history.
4. None of the above.

Correct Answer

Options:

1. It begins on the basis of initial conclusion drawn from the study of maps of the region concerned.
2. It involves very long temporal and very large spatial scales.
3. It is not based on any logical arguments.
4. None of the above.

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Because of language, political and personal considerations on the one hand, and less technical assumptions on the other.
2. Because it involves very long temporal and very large spatial scales.
3. Because it is not based on any logical arguments.
4. None of the above.

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Because they involved very short temporal and very small spatial scales.
2. Because they involved very long temporal and very large spatial scales.
3. Because they were not based on any logical arguments.
4. None of the above.

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Because their time scales were so large and unsignposted that they became the playground for unbridled and untestable speculation.
2. Because they were not based on any logical arguments.
3. Because they involved very short temporal and very small spatial scales.
4. None of the above.

Correct Answer

2. To study large-scale drainage networks
3. To develop a genetic model for the development of landforms
4. To study the relationship between climate and landforms

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The absence of statistical and mathematical methods
2. The absence of data on rapid temporal changes
3. The absence of data on relict landforms
