Question

Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): Drumlins show features opposite to those of Roches Moutonnees.
Reason (R): The stoss side is steep and the lee side is roughene
D.

• A. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
• B. Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A
• C. A is correct but R is not correct
• D. A is not correct but R is correct

Hint:

Roches moutonnees are erosional glacial landforms, while drumlins are streamlined depositional landforms.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Drumlins and roches moutonnees are glacial landforms, but their shapes and mode of formation differ.

Step 1: Check Assertion.
Drumlins are streamlined depositional landforms, while roches moutonnees are erosional landforms. Their profiles are opposite in important respects. \[ A \text{ is correct} \]

Step 2: Check Reason.
The given reason says the stoss side is steep and lee side is roughened. This is not the correct description for drumlins in this context. \[ R \text{ is not correct} \]

Step 3: Final conclusion.
Assertion is correct, but Reason is incorrect. \[ \therefore \text{Correct Answer is (C)} \]
