(v) A deep, long and wide trough or basin with very steep concave high walls at its head as well as in sides is known as
\n(a) cirque
\n(b) glacial valley
\n(c) lateral moraine
\n(d) esker
\nAnswer:
\n(a) cirque.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nAnswer the following questions in about 30 words each :<\/p>\n

(i) What do incised meanders in rocks and meanders in plains of alluviam indicate?
\nAnswer:
\nMeandering courses over flood plains and delta plains are found where stream gradients are very gentle. But very deep and wide meanders can also be found cut in hard rocks. Such meanders are called incised meanders. Meander loops develop over original gentle surfaces in the initial stages of development of streams.<\/p>\n

(ii) Explain the evolution of valleys sinks or uvaias.
\nAnswer:
\nA sinkhole is an opening more or less circular at the top and funnel-shaped towards bottom with sizes vary ing in areas. When sink-holes and dolines join together because of slumping of materials along their margins or due to roof collapse of caves, long, narrow to wide trenches called valley sinks or uvaias form.<\/p>\n

(iii) Underground flow of water is more common than surface run-off in limestone areas. Why?
\nAnswer:
\nSurface runoff gradually diminishes and is diverted to underground passages developing subterranean drainage. If there is enough water, surface drainage too will develop. Surface runoff and infiltration into the ground starts the solution process along the fractures, faults, bedding planes and other zones of weakness. Subterranean drainage begins to develop.”Solution on the surface and through the ground results in shallow holes and sinkholes.<\/p>\n

(iv) Glacial valleys show up many linear depositional forms. Give their locations and names.
\nAnswer:
\nThe linear depositional formed by the glacier are called moraines. These are terminal moraines, lateral moraines and ground moraines. A deep valley characterised by steep step-like side slopes is known as :<\/p>\n
