Question

Match the landform in Group I with the corresponding geological process in Group II. 
\[\begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \textbf{Group I} & \textbf{Group II} \\ \hline \text{P. Cinder Cone} & \text{1. Eolian} \\ \hline \text{Q. Ox-bow lake} & \text{2. Glacial} \\ \hline \text{R. Draas} & \text{3. Volcanic} \\ \hline \text{S. Drumlin} & \text{4. Fluvial} \\ \hline \end{array}\]

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

Hint:

Understanding the geological processes associated with different landforms is crucial in geology. Cinder cones form due to volcanic activity, while Ox-bow lakes are formed by fluvial processes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the landforms and processes.
- A Cinder Cone is a volcanic landform formed from pyroclastic material, so it corresponds to Volcanic.
- An Ox-bow lake is a meander cut-off by the river, formed by fluvial processes.
- Draas are glacial landforms formed by ice action, so it corresponds to Glacial.
- A Drumlin is an elongated hill formed by glacial ice, so it corresponds to Eolian.

Step 2: Analyzing the options.
(A) P-3, Q-4, R-1, S-2: Correct — Cinder Cone is volcanic, Ox-bow lake is fluvial, Draas are glacial, and Drumlin is Eolian.
(B) P-4, Q-2, R-3, S-1: Incorrect.
(C) P-2, Q-1, R-3, S-4: Incorrect.
(D) P-3, Q-2, R-4, S-1: Incorrect.

Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (A) P-3, Q-4, R-1, S-2.
