Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II. \[ \begin{array}{|c|l|c|l|} \hline LIST-I & (Concept) & LIST-II & (Propounder) \hline A. & \text{The Cycle of Pediplanation} & I. & \text{Pugh and Thomas} \hline B. & \text{Savanna Cycle of Erosion} & II. & \text{King} \hline C. & \text{Episodic Erosion Theory} & III. & \text{Schumm and Lichty} \hline D. & \text{The Concept of Panplain} & IV. & \text{Crickmay} \hline \end{array} \] Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
• B. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
• C. A-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II
• D. A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III

Hint:

Important geomorphological concepts: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{King} &\rightarrow \text{Pediplanation}, \text{Pugh \& Thomas} &\rightarrow \text{Savanna Cycle}, \text{Schumm \& Lichty} &\rightarrow \text{Episodic Erosion}, \text{Crickmay} &\rightarrow \text{Panplain}. \end{aligned} } \] Mnemonic: “King Pediplaned, Thomas Savanna, Schumm Episodic, Crickmay Panplain.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Several geomorphological concepts have been proposed by different scholars to explain landscape evolution under varying climatic and tectonic conditions.

Step 1: Match each concept with its propounder. \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Cycle of Pediplanation} &\rightarrow \text{King}, \text{Savanna Cycle of Erosion} &\rightarrow \text{Pugh and Thomas}, \text{Episodic Erosion Theory} &\rightarrow \text{Schumm and Lichty}, \text{Concept of Panplain} &\rightarrow \text{Crickmay}. \end{aligned} } \]

Step 2: Convert into the given matching. \[ \boxed{ A\!-\!II,\; B\!-\!I,\; C\!-\!III,\; D\!-\!IV } \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{(A)}} \]
