  5. Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R). Select your answer from the codes given below :

    Assertion (A) : Ozone hole is observed only over Antarctica.

    Reason (R) : Ozone depleting gases are present throughout the stratosphere.

    Options:
    1. Both (A) and (R) are true.
    2. (A) is true and (R) is wrong.
    3. Both (A) and (R) are wrong.

    Options:
    1. Incised meanders
    2. Structural benches
    3. Paired valley terraces
    4. Multi-cyclic valley

    Option: B

  7. Which of the following groups of scholars stressed the role of lateral erosion by streams in the formation of pediments ?

    Options:
    1. Mc. Gee, Paige, Blackwelder
    2. Mc Gee, Blackwelder, Johnson
    3. Paige, Blackwelder, Johnson

  8. The normal cycle of erosion is associated with

    Options:
    1. Marine erosion
    2. Wind erosion
    3. River erosion
    4. Glacial erosion

    Option: C

  9. Given below are two statements, one labelled as assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R). Select your answer from the codes given below:

    Assertion (A) : The velocity of moving ice increases with steepness of slope of the area and thickness of glacial ice.

    Reason (R) : The velocity decreases to the sides owing to lesser depth of ice and friction against the valley walls and the bottom floor.

    Options:
    1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
    2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
    3. (A) is true, but (R) is false.
    4. (A) is false, but (R) is true.

    Option: B
