Question : 3
Match List-I with List-II and choose the correct answer with the help of the codes:
List I | List II |
(Landforms) | (Agents of formation) |
A. Faults | 1. Glacial activity |
B. Flood plains | 2. Fluvial effects |
C. Coral reefs | 3. Organic activity |
D. Moraines | 4. Earth movement |
a) 4 2 3 1
b) 1 3 2 4
c) 2 3 1 4
d) 3 1 4 2
Answer »Answer: (a)
- Faults – Earth movements (A fault is formed in the Earth’s crust as a brittle response to stress. Generally, the movement of the tectonic plates provides the stress, and rocks at the surface break in response to this.)
- Flood Plains – Fluvial effect (Flood plains are made by a meander eroding sideways as it travels downstream. When a river breaks its banks and floods, it leaves behind layers of alluvium (silt). This gradual build-up creates the floor of the flood plain.
- Coral reefs – Organic activity (Coral reefs begin to form when free-swimming coral larvae attach to submerged rocks or other hard surfaces along the edges of islands or continents. As the corals grow and expand, reefs take on one of three major characteristic structures —fringing, barrier or atoll.)
- Moraines – Glacial Activity (A moraine are formed along the sides of a glacier. As the glacier scrapes along, it tears off rock and soil from both sides of its path. This material is deposited as lateral moraine at the top of the glacier’s edges.

- It transports more warm tropical water to northern latitudes than any other boundary current; more than 40 Sv in the south and 20 Sv as it cross the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
