Question

Match the geomorphic features in Group I with corresponding environments in Group II. 

Group I	Group II
P. Eskers	1. Beach
Q. Natural levee	2. Volcanic
R. Chenier ridge	3. Glacial
S. Plug dome	4. Fluvial

• A. P-3, Q-1, R-4, S-2
• B. P-3, Q-1, R-4, S-4
• C. P-2, Q-4, R-1, S-3
• D. P-2, Q-1, R-1, S-3

Hint:

Remember, geomorphic features are linked to the processes that create them, such as glacial, fluvial, or volcanic environments.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Geomorphic Features.
- Eskers are formed by glacial meltwater, so they are associated with a glacial environment.
- Natural levees form along rivers and are characteristic of fluvial environments.
- Chenier ridges are coastal features formed by waves and currents, typically found in fluvial environments.
- Plug domes are volcanic features, formed by the eruption of lava.
Step 2: Analyzing the options.
(A) P-3, Q-1, R-4, S-2: Correct — Eskers (P) are associated with glaciers (3), Natural levees (Q) are formed by rivers (1), Chenier ridges (R) are typically fluvial (4), and Plug domes (S) are volcanic (2).
(B) P-3, Q-1, R-4, S-4: Incorrect — The match for S is wrong.
(C) P-2, Q-4, R-1, S-3: Incorrect — The matches for Eskers, Natural levee, and Chenier ridge are incorrect.
(D) P-2, Q-1, R-1, S-3: Incorrect — The match for Eskers is wrong.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (A) P-3, Q-1, R-4, S-2, matching each geomorphic feature to its corresponding environment.
